Gloucester Schooner Festival
Labor Day Weekend Sailing Cruises ...
Set sail on the Liberty Clipper for the Gloucester Schooner Race and Festival Weekend! This weekend of special sailing events is an annual favorite and space is limited, so book today! We won't be in Boston this weekend - we'll be sailing offshore and racing in Gloucester, MA! Join us for the fun and true offshore sailing experience...
The 26th Annual Gloucester Schooner Race will be held this Labor Day Weekend! In 2009, over 20 schooners sailed the waters off of Cape Ann, Massachusetts during this annual gathering of tall ships. Gloucester is a wonderful seaport village steeped in maritime history and lore.
The LIBERTY CLIPPER is a 125 foot gaff rigged schooner designed after early American privateers. Come aboard to relive the days of Tall Ships! Take the wheel, set the sails, help the crew or just sit back and enjoy the sail!
