Skipjack Nathan of Dorchester
Public Sail Schedule

The Nathan's public sailing season runs from May through October. Regularly scheduled public sails depart from Long Wharf, at the end of High Street, in Cambridge, Maryland.

Saturday Public Sails are two hours long and generally include an oyster dredging demonstration, conditions permitting. One Sunday each month, we offer two one-hour sails at a reduced price. While the Sunday sails do not include dredging, they still offer an unforgettable opportunity to experience sailing on a traditional Chesapeake Bay skipjack.

All ages are welcome. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. We provide life jackets that must be worn by children 12 and under. No pets are allowed except service dogs. We can accommodate passengers in wheelchairs, but it is advisable to let us know ahead of time, as we can only take a limited number of wheelchairs each trip. Please note that the onboard “head” (marine toilet) is not handicapped-accessible.
