Step aboard Lively, a one-of-a-kind 1976 Willard Marine Custom Schooner, and experience the magic of classic sailing in beautiful Newport Harbor. Designed by Hale Field and masterfully built at Willard Boat Works in Costa Mesa, this iconic vessel has been part of Newport’s maritime story for decades—winning the prestigious America’s Schooner Cup in 2016 and appearing in countless fashion shoots and local features. With her elegant tanbark sails and timeless rig, she’s often affectionately called “the pirate ship” and is easily the most waved-to and photographed boat in the harbor.

Under the guidance of Captain Andrew Mayhugh, an expert in traditional sailing and hands-on sail training, guests can enjoy an authentic and memorable experience—whether you’re learning to handle the ropes or simply soaking in the coastal beauty.

Lively offers all the comforts for a relaxed day on the water, including a cushioned cockpit, padded bow seats, icebox, swim ladder, and onboard restroom. Guests are welcome to bring alcohol, pets, and even enjoy a smoke or swim during the cruise. Safety is always a priority, with life jackets, GPS, VHF radio, chart plotter, and anchor all onboard.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking to sail into the sunset, Lively promises a truly unique and photo-worthy adventure.
