    Amazing Experience!!!

    4 hour sailing trip for Pat B • 3 adults

    The family and I had an amazing time on Artemis sailing with Captain Rick and his wife Deb. What an amazing experience to sail on such a beautiful yacht and with such wonderful people. If you've never sailed or are an experienced sailor, you will truly enjoy this great experience and discover Gloucester and the surrounding area. This sailing yacht is super stable, fast and fun. Make new friends, new experiences and amazing memories to last a lifetime! Sail Artemis!
