Schooner Thomas E Lannon

The crew was exceptionally friendly and the boat was very clean and very well maintained .

Our party brought their own food so I cannot comment on catering.

Very relaxing very calm would definitely come back again.

A pleasant trip around Gloucster harbor.

A little more narrative would be nice, though the crew is happy to answer questions.

Really cool trip. We did the Saturday afternoon sail where 1 kid 16 and under is free with each paying adult. Free good deal, IMO. Crew and captain are awesome. Sailboat itself is super cool. Loved the trip. Grab a rope and help with the sails, or kick back and relax. Very cool way to get out on the water.

My husband and I took an afternoon sail in September 2020 and it really was an amazing trip. It was my first sail. The schooner was beautiful and well kept with a great family history. Due to a small craft advisory, we stayed in the Gloucester harbor, but there was still plenty of space to sail around. The crew was great and it was impressive to watch them all work together.

This was so relaxing and enjoyable. Took a trip around Gloucester harbor on the Thomas E Lannon. What a beautiful boat and the crew made to sail very comfortable and informative. Can't say enough nice things. Just the best day.

Went out for the Perseid meteor shower cruise and it was a great, peaceful night sail. The boat was super clean and plenty of space for everyone on the boat to sit.

This was incredible. I have lived in the Northshore area my whole life, but this was only my second time out on the schooner Thomas E Lannon and I can't say enough about how great it was. The weather was prefect for sailing, and the crew provided local knowledge, historical facts about the boat and funny stories. We were able to assist in hoisting the sails, which was fun as well.
There were drinks and snacks for purchase on board, including a rum punch with local rum; which we didn't partake in but they looked great. This trip would be enjoyed by sailors and non-sailors alike; tourists and locals. Definitely check it out, as well as their specialty sails. Bring layers!

Came here on a groupon for pretty cheap with the GF. This was the perfect activity for a breezy summer day. The schooner is big and the very nice owners love talking about its history and how they restored it.

The experience was so pleasant that we signed up for the meteor shower viewing where they go out for about an hour out of the bay in pitch black so you can see meteors shoot through the sky. This gets a little pricey ($50)pp but it is very romantic and a great reason to cuddle. On a cool summer night.

Plan for a late night when you do this because the boat doesn't get back until 1-2 AM.

If I could give the Thomas E Lannon 6 stars I would! My husband, 13 year old daughter and I made a memory aboard this ship that we will carry in our hearts forever. The Celtic music violin, harp, flute, guitars sounded celestial as the sunset dropped in the most radiant hot pinks, oranges and yellows. The crew was knowledgeable and friendly and the views of the shore magnificent! The boat ride was smooth and we loved how organic the salty air smelled as the big sails billowed in the wind. We even viewed an adorable Seal swimming along side the ship! The price of this trip was SO Reasonable considering how amazing this experience was and we can't wait to come back and do it all over again!

Came on a groupon and made friends, and found zen. BEAUTIFUL slow cruise of the harbor, relaxing and full of maritime stories. Family owned business - they can have weddings, special events and even cater a picnic on board for a special outing - just ask.

Dad, son and staff are so professional, entertaining and nice!
