Saturday Public Sails
1:00 pm to 3:00 pm May, June, September, October and November

Nathan usually sails from May through October. Each sail is two hours long and generally includes an oyster dredging demonstration. Sails are unique depending on wind, weather, captain, and crew.
Advance reservations are recommended and accepted ONLINE, until midnight of the day before the sail. We carry up to 20 passengers per trip and the boat leaves the dock promptly on schedule.
During summer Saturdays in July and August we sail from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm to escape the hottest part of the day. Check the booking page for details and dates when we sail earlier in the day!
