Happy 12/12 /12

There is nothing better on a hot summer day than sailing out to the Isle of Shoals or Rockport with your family.

On past trips we have seen whales, seals and schooling tuna , this past summer we saw a school of dolphin.

Our clients are encourged to take the helm if they wish or just sit back and relax.

As we reach the Isle of Shoals we grab an empty mooring or drop the anchor in Goffsport Harbor. We usually dingy over to either Star Island or Smutty nose where we can explore and have a picnic.This is a nice take especially for those who have never been.

The Ilse of shoals was once a fishing village of 400 families. As the home of pirates, and loyalist this was a very rough place to live. During the revolution these people were forced back to the mainland giving the new government more control of the area.

Star Island is now the home of a retreat area for the unitarian and congregational churches. Visitors have plent of photo opotunities , and are welcome to visit their museum when open.This is a nice trip and affordably priced at $450 for a family of four. Each additional person up to six cost $50.

On our trip out to Rockport we explore Bearskin Neck. We may go exploring, shopping, have a picnic or go over to Ellen's resteraunt or just grab an ice cream along the road.

We still offer the half day family sail for a family of 4 for $350 we each additional person up to six costing $25. For more information

Thanks Captain Ed's Sailing

Captain Ed's Sailing gets more popular each year, however there are always great weekends as well as weekdays available.

At the end of the day you walk away from the boat and leave the cost of owning and maintaining the boat up to me.

Call or email to reserve your spot for next summer. 508-451-0431 Captain Ed's Sailing

Things to do after sailing with

Captain Ed's Sailing

A day sailing on the Bella Donna will take up to 6 hours of your time, at the end of the day, if you still have some energy, there is still plenty of other things to do around Newburyport.

There are plenty of restaurants around town, such as the Grog, Michaels, The Black Cow, and Loretta's, restaurants. A great place to grab a Sandwich before a sailing trip is at the Warren street market.

Out towards Plum Island you will find Bob's Lobster.

Make a trip more exciting on your way out to Bob's Lobster by renting an EZ pedal bike from EZ Pedaler of Newburyport

If you are looking for a place to stay while in the area my client's have stayed at the Essex Street Inn, The Blue out on Plum Island, as well as The Garrison Inn , and the The Compass Rose Inn.

We live in a great area to try out some salt water fishing as well. For short days I like Channel Edge Charters, or Flounder Fishing, from the Captains Lady . For Longer excursions check out The Clipper Fleet in Salisbury or again the Captains Lady out on Plum Island.
