Why take this tour?

We are a family owned and operated business and have been operating our own vessels for over 40 years!. Captain Rick and Deb are on every cruise aboard Artemis and we love what we do! Let us show you our beautiful sailing vessel and offer you a chance to get close with the natural beauty of Gloucester, Massachusetts and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Mark Twain

Frequently asked questions

Follow your GPS instructions to 24 Harbor Loop in Gloucester Massachusetts. Find a place to park. once you have parked your car, please call our Boat phone at 207–930–5873 and let us know that you are on your way. It is a good idea to be parked and on your way down to the launch 15 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. Then proceed to the Harbormaster’s office and go down the ramp to the water. Look for a white open boat about 30 feet long named the Gloucesterman. if the boat is not there then that means it is probably out doing a run and will return shortly. Wait patiently and they will be there. Once aboard the launch, tell the driver that you are headed to Artemis. We will pay the cost of the launch service but it is always nice to leave a couple of dollars for the launch captain.
You can reserve and pay right here on this site.
The weather in New England changes regularly and quickly, so it’s always a good idea to bring layers. We find a windbreaker to be a key element of comfort on the water!
You are welcome to bring snacks and libations! We prefer that you steer clear of red wine, dark berries, and greasy sauces/items as these will stain our canvas cushions. Daysails can be sunny, so sunscreen (not the spray kind please! It can stain the canvas)and a hat are good ideas.
Yes! Dog friendly and “mellow”dogs are welcome to sail with us. We do ask that you let us know if you will be bringing a dog along with you, as we have a dog of our own, and like to make sure proper introductions happen
Children over 8 are welcome to join us on our family friendly sails.
Sorry, There is no smoking allowed on board the boat.
Unlikely, we do our best to stay in protected waters, but if you know that you get seasick with the mere thought of being on the water, please take care of yourself and your comfort as you see fit. We do not offer dramamine or any other medications aboard the boat.
Yes. We have a ‘head’ on board the boat for our guests use, and also recommend that all of our guests use the public facilities on the dock before boarding as we have a relatively small holding tank!
