There are many sized sailing ships available -- for a few people or for several hundred.

Some small sailing vessels are old historic vessels that are living museums. You can take a turn hauling lines if you wish, and get sailing tips at the helm. Cooking may be done on a wood-burning stove, and usually there is one lobster bake with a driftwood fire on shore.

Large sailing ships have the excitement of sailing plus the amenities and entertainment of a cruise ship. There is a full service dining room, tenders for shore excursions, and usually sunfish, kayaks and other water sports equipment. None have wheelchair access, a few have elevators.
