FAME is annually the #1-rated boat in Salem and the #1 outdoor activity in the entire town, per TripAdvisor. Don't miss the very best of what Salem has to offer! There's more to our town than witches! FAME is a full-scale replica of a privateer schooner from the War of 1812 that captured over 20 prizes! We sail up to five times a day between May and October from Pickering Wharf Marina in downtown Salem. On board our traditional gaff-rigged schooner, you'll get a chance to raise the sails and even steer the boat as we sail Salem Sound and talk about the fisherman, traders, and privateers that played such a central role in the saga of Salem, and of the young United States. This is a great hands-on adventure — but you can also just sit back and enjoy a beverage and take it all in as we cruise past the historic forts and lighthouses of Salem, Beverly, & Marblehead. Note: although the captain & crew have plenty to tell you, this is NOT a narrated tour! No children under five allowed.

The crew was very engaging. They knew so much about the history of the area. They were also super accommodating to my 84 year old Mom. Highly recommend

We had a beautiful day, perfect weather for sailing. The crew was awesome and we had a really nice time. Some people helped to raise the sails and even steer the boat. Shooting the cannon was exciting!

This was our second sail on the Fame with our 9 yr old grandson. Crew is great, very interactive. Can help raise sails…etc. History of boat and Salem told on vessel. Great tour for both adults and kids. Highly recommend.
