Today is the last day of Sail Boston, and we want to thank you for supporting our event!

Today, ships will depart Boston on their own schedules and throughout the day. There is no Parade of Sail or official schedule of these departures.

There will be no public boarding tours today, but you can possibly catch some of our Tall Ships leaving Boston Harbor! Head to the waterfront to wish the crews well on their journeys.

We know that a Tall Ship is only as strong as its crew, and Sail Boston is no exception. From greeting visitors, directing lines to answering countless questions, our volunteers have been the backbone of our event. As we look ahead to departure day tomorrow, we want to acknowledge and thank everyone that's given their time to make Sail Boston an unforgettable experience.
