Half-Day Sailing Adventures… Romantic Evening Cruises

Your visit to the seafaring village of Mystic is incomplete without a cruise aboard the Schooner ARGIA. From her wooden deck, you will see the Captains' homes along the river and hear about this area so rich in maritime history. Relax as you sail by scenic coastlines, islands, and lighthouses, or help the crew hoist and trim the sails. Each cruise includes complimentary snacks and soft drinks. You may also bring your own beverage and food - coolers, ice, napkins, and cups are available.

Morning Sail
10:20 - 12:50 pm
Afternoon Sail
2:20 - 4:50 pm
Sunset Sail
5:30 - 7:30 pm

(The interesting departure & return schedule coincides with the historic Mystic River Drawbridge schedule, which opens twice for every ARGIA cruise.)
