Set sail aboard the AJ Meerwald, one of the hundreds of oyster schooners that graced the Delaware Bay in the 1920s, during its visit to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. On Sunday, Oct. 26, we are offering public sails at 1pm and 3:30pm.
Enjoy the excitement and wonder of sailing aboard our 115-foot 1928 oyster schooner. You’ll experience sailing as done for hundreds of years on this historic vessel that is New Jersey’s official Tall Ship. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even join our crew in hauling lines and setting sails! Enjoy the great outdoors as you breathe in the fresh air and marvel at the scenery that surrounds you.
A ticket is required for all passengers. Children 17-and-under must be accompanied by an adult. You may bring your own food and drink on board. Tickets are $50 per person and include CBMM general admission. Sail times are approximately 2 hours in length depending on conditions.
