Sailing A.J. Meerwald from the Cape May Ferry Terminal
Set sail aboard the AJ Meerwald, one of the hundreds of oyster schooners that graced the Delaware Bay in the 1920s!
Enjoy the excitement and wonder of sailing aboard our 115’ 1928 oyster schooner. You’ll experience sailing as done for hundreds of years on our 1928 oyster schooner. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even join our crew in hauling lines and setting sails! Enjoy the great outdoors as you breathe in the fresh air and marvel at the scenery that surrounds you and the quiet of skimming through the water under sail power.
Sailing Notes:
Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of sail time and allow extra time for traffic issues. We make every effort to leave the port ON TIME. Please be respectful of the other passengers and be on time. With sailing questions on the day of the sail, please call 856-265-1991.
You may want to bring an extra layer of clothing as it often gets cooler when out on the water. Also consider a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera and binoculars may be useful too, considering the likelihood of seeing shorebirds. You may bring refreshments - water, sandwiches, sodas, beer or wine, but you are required to carry off whatever you carry on.
We cannot allow any pets or comfort dogs (except service dogs) on board. Strollers are not permitted due to safety issues. For patrons in wheelchairs, please call ahead and let us know. No smoking on the boat. We ask all patrons to use the shore side restroom before boarding the boat. There is a tiny "ships head" on the boat, but one would have to climb down a ladder to use it.
Thank you for your ticket purchase. We look forward to your attendance.
If you are sailing, please contact the boat phone at 856-265-1991 for questions day of your sail.
Snacks & Beverages:
