The Ginny Marie Schooner is back in Port Jefferson harbor!

 

The distinctive looking ship flies its signature red sails and with its black hull is hard to miss in the waters. Already, people have been enjoying sails into the Long Island Sound, as trips are starting to book up for the upcoming season.

 

You can reserve a trip or purchase a gift certificate online.

 

 

The Ginny Marie wintered in Maine this year and made her way down to Long Island with Captain Brian Murphy at the helm.

 

She is a 38-foot wooden schooner that harkens back to the old world marine elegance of a hand crafted, turn of the century ship. The Ginny Marie itself was built between 1980 and 2000 by a previous owner based on a design by William Atkins, a boatbuilder who made his name in the early 20th century. You can read her full story here.

 

Some liken it to a pirate ship. She sails three times a day at 1pm, 3:30pm and 6pm for a sunset cruise that should not be missed.
