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.

It was a great experience. The captain and crew asked for volunteers to hoist the sails, steer the ship and at the end, fold the flag. It does get cold in the evening, so a sweatshirt is advisable, however they do provide blankets.

The crew was first rate. Friendly and informative. Sailing started on time and was so enjoyable. The weather was perfect with a breeze enough for us to actually sail. The Captain pointed out land marks and items of interest. I hoisted sail (with help) and steered the vessel for a short time. It was so nice to be on the water. I would recommend this trip.

The Schooner Fame is a must when visiting Salem MA. The Captain and crew are knowledgable and friendly, the boat is comfortable with room for everyone to sit and enjoy. They also have drinks and snacks (I recommend a dark and stormy). You can help raise the sails if you like. We had a great time and will definitely go again.
