Story

The Liberty Clipper is a replica of the mid-19th century Baltimore Clippers famous for their fast passages round Cape Horn on their way to California and other Pacific ports. The Liberty Clipper operates in Boston Harbor during the Summer, transits down the East Coast in the fall and Nassau, the Bahamas during the winter. In Boston, Liberty Clipper is available for charter on day and evening cruises for up to 95 passengers. Her spacious decks and on-board hospitality create an ambiance under sail that will meet the expectations of the most discriminating clients. In addition to a variety of high quality charter opportunities, during the summer months, she offers the Liberty Classroom program for Boston area youth groups, a sail training and harbor education program designed to give trainees an introduction to essential topics in seamanship, safety, and Boston’s maritime history. For those interested in extended trips, Liberty Clipper offers  6-day Windjammer cruises in the Bahamas where pricing includes a berth and excellent food prepared by the ship’s chef.
