Washington DC
Five day live-aboard sailing adventures for families and adults, or join us for our five to nine day educational program for students/teachers!
On our nine-day educational adventure for students and teachers, you will sail from the mouth of the Potomac River into the heart of our nation's capitol and live history every day of your trip!
For families, friends, adults, and/or student-teacher trips with less time, your five to seven day trip will start and finish in Washington DC, but you will have all the time you need to explore our nation's capitol!
​****
Our nine day trip starts at the mouth of the Potomac River where it flows into the largest estuary in the U.S., the Chesapeake Bay. On your first day, we will sail across the mighty Potomac to Historic St. Mary's City, Maryland's first settlement to be greeted by its inhabitants in 17th century costume. We will tour the grounds to the Godiah Spray tobacco plantation, Native American hamlets, Sir William Nuthead's print house, and end with a tour of The Dove, a replica of a 17th century sailing trade ship.
The next few days we will sail up the historic Potomac River. On our travels, we will make stops along the way and dinghy ashore to St. Clements's Island to search for buried treasure and spend a day touring Mount Vernon, home to President George Washington.
​
Sailing into Washington DC, we will anchor within sight of the Washington Monument and go ashore to tour our nation's capitol. We will tour national monuments, the Smithsonian Museums, art galleries, the Museum of Natural History, the Vietnam War Memorial, and much, much more!
This is an adventure for everyone! Whether you're a scout group, a family, a group of friends looking to build memories together, or a teacher looking to bring history alive for your middle school or high school students, this is a trip not to be missed!
