- SHIPPIN' UP TO BOSTON! The Ukulele Cruise. Destination, Boston Harbor!!Rowes Wharf, Boston, MA$50.00
"Come Sail Away!" Ukuleles are sailing once again, this time we're headed to the "high seas" of Boston Harbor!
Two and a half hours of sailing aboard The Lexington, a custom designed 75’ authentic two level paddle wheel boat. Your uke friends, Danno Sullivan and Amy Kucharik and others leading us as we sing and strum some of your favorite songs about sailing and the sea.All player levels are welcome.
"We're gonna need a bigger boat."
Both of our previous cruises have sold out.
With each cruise we've selected a larger boat. We still needed more elbow room so this time we'll be sailing aboard an even bigger boat. We'll experience spectacular views of the Boston skyline like we’ve never seen before.IMPORTANT:
- Attendance is strictly capped at 80 sailors, so if you're interested, book today!
- Cruise date is Sunday, August 25, 3:00 - 5:30
- Departure from Rowes Wharf, Boston. Parking is free on Sundays in Boston
- We will send you email with details, parking info, and how to find the boat
Here's how it works.
1. RSVP below. Should RSVPs exceed capacity, your name will automatically be added to the waitlist.2. Send your payment of $50 by JULY 31. Your seat will not be fully guaranteed until payment has been received. If payment is not received by July 31 your name will be removed and replaced with the next name on the waiting list. No refunds. Our musical excursion sets sail rain or shine. We’re not gonna let a little rain get in our way! (The Lexington is covered and has windows that can be closed in inclement weather. We have been assured that the harbor never gets too choppy.)
