What to expect

This experience can accommodate up to 12 guests! Travelers will board a beautifully restored traditional Friendship Sloop and set sail across Lake Champlain, where the wind guides a relaxing and unhurried journey on the water. Along the way, guests can take in panoramic views of scenic shorelines and more than 70 named islands, admire the stunning Adirondack and Green Mountain backdrops, and listen to engaging stories, legends, and local history shared by the knowledgeable crew. The cruise may also pass notable landmarks such as historic lighthouses and shipwreck sites, all while guests enjoy their own food and drinks in a calm and intimate setting. Since each route depends on wind conditions, no two trips are ever the same, making every sailing experience truly unique.
