Weekend Getaway from New York City

You're welcome to board the Mystic Whaler after 8:30 p.m. the evening before your cruise. That night you sleep aboard in your own cabin, lulled to sleep by the waves lapping against the hull. The next morning you wake to the smells of coffee and breakfast wafting out of the galley. That morning, guided by the wind and tides, the Coast Guard licensed captain decides that day's sailing destination. After a generous breakfast the schooner casts off her dock lines and your sailing adventure begins. "I would definitely recommend this ship to anyone who wants the "tall ship" experience with an expert captain, crew, cook, and entertainment." harpmary, Virginia You are invited to help raise sail, steer the ship, climb aloft in the rigging, make new friends or lounge in the sun, soaking in your surroundings. The helpful, friendly crew loves to teach you about their craft. You don't need any experience. The ship sails through the day, serving lunch underway and docks that afternoon in a seaside port. As the crew tidies the ship you are invited to go ashore and explore with your shipmates before dinner is served. As the sun sets on another glorious day you can stay on board the schooner or go ashore and explore the night life. Returning to the ship you see the moon rise as stars blanket the night sky.
