Charters
 Fame is available for charters, parties and private events of all kinds. Capacity is 40 passengers. ____________________________________________________________________ Private Charters Our handsome and authentic schooner is the perfect setting for your private event, either on the water or at the dock. Birthdays * Anniversaries * Weddings * Rehearsal Dinners Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties * Reunions * Office parties Memorial services & Ash-scatterings During the day, you can take the helm of our traditional Essex-built schooner as we sail past lighthouses, old forts, pristine islands, and magnificent waterfront homes. Sit back and enjoy the scenery! Or, if you're in the mood, take the tiller or help the crew raise the sails as we cruise through historic Salem Sound. At night, you can enjoy an elegant evening of dockside cocktails and hors d'oeuvres in a unique and attractive setting. Our schooner is an ideal venue for any reception or party with a maritime or historic theme. Both on-the-water and dockside charters can include snacks, drinks, or a full-fledged meal. We can provide a caterer, or you can hire your own. All private charters and dockside events require a two-hour minimum and include the services of our captain, crew, and bartender.
Theme Charters SAIL TRAINING What better place to hone your nautical skills than aboard Fame, a member of the American Sail Training Association? If you and your group are interested in learning how to sail traditional vessels, we're delighted to provide professional instruction. Our experienced and capable crew will teach you to "hand, reef, and steer." You'll learn the rudiments of navigation in the same waters where Nathaniel Bowditch got his start. Once you've learned a chantey or two and can tie a bowline, a square knot, and a clove hitch, you'll never look the same way at a sailing vessel again. Cost: Base rate for two hours plus $100 instructor's fee TEAM BUILDING PROGRAMS Bring your team together for an experience that will both educate and entertain. Aboard Fame, you'll find that not even the saltiest of old-time sailors can do it all himself. Sailing is all about teamwork — understanding what to do and when to do it, and knowing your role on the smoothly-running team that brings a vessel across the trackless ocean. We offer consultant-led programs, but we can also work with you to design your own day at sea. Your group will learn how to navigate, handle the sails, and steer a course... all through a fun, hands-on curriculum that emphasizes the importance of teamwork and cooperation in any group endeavor. Cost: Base rate for three hours plus $200 facilitator's fee RACES & REENACTMENTS We rarely pass up the chance to participate in a historical reenactment, an exciting race with other traditional sailing vessels, or a Tall Ships event. Among the upcoming events we expect to participate in are the Gloucester Schooner Race, held annually on Labor Day weekend; the Provincetown Schooner Regatta, held annually in mid-September; and SailBoston, scheduled for July of 2009. Whenever Fame is scheduled to participate in a special event, we will inform the public and make tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to check our "Upcoming Events" page often! Since each event is unique, pricing will vary. ____________________________________________________________________ Home * Come Sailing * Charters * Schooner Camp * History * Building Fame Photo Gallery * Upcoming Events * Ship's Store * Links * Contact Us Copyright © 2004-2008 Pennant Enterprises, Inc.
