Duchess of Boston Sailing Charters, LLC

Here She is, the Friendship Sloop "Duchess"

Friendship Sloops are named for the place they were originally built, Friendship Maine. This one in particular can be traced back to a Wilbur Morse design of the 1890's.

It was Maine's original Lobster Boat, before the popularity of marine engines as a main source of propulsion.

How it Works

Sail Boat is Chartered from the Moorings. Captain Chris selected the Moorings since all Sail Boats are less than 5 years old. A New Sail Boat adds to the enjoyment of the Charter by reducing the risk of equipment malfunction.
Sail Boat Prices can be viewed at MOORINGS.COM
Maximum of 6 people
Minimum of 5 days
Payment made to The Moorings for the Sail Boat
Payment made to Duchess of Boston Sailing Charters, LLC for the Captain Fees
