About this Event

This Sunset Cruise Series is presented by Living Classrooms Foundation.

Enjoy a relaxing evening on DC's Potomac River aboard the 1948 Chesapeake Bay buyboat MILDRED BELLE. Try your hand as a mariner by helping to steer and navigate the boat. Learn some local history and relax while enjoying the sounds and activity on the water. Bring your own food and beverages to enjoy with the help of crew-provided coolers.

Tickets are limited and must be purchased in advance. Open to guests 21+ only; Tickets non-refundable.

During the April to November sailing season, MILDRED BELLE and the Living Classrooms historic ships offer unique hands-on sailing adventures for students, youth groups, and adults from all over Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. A portion of the ticket sales from this cruise will directly support our educational programming for local school groups in Baltimore and Washington, DC.

Visitors with limited mobility will be accommodated as best as we can. Due to its historic design, this vessel is not ADA accessible.
