The R. Tucker Thompson

Seize the rare opportunity to set sail on a working tall ship and step on board Northland’s own iconic R. Tucker Thompson! Often voted the best day of any holiday it is always an experience not to be missed.

Be part of the crew for the day and help set the sails, ride on the bowsprit, or grab a harness to climb the rigging for an amazing view. If you prefer to relax, then let our crew do all the work. The ship is spacious and the friendly crew makes it a memorable experience. Ferry tickets, morning cream tea and delicious BBQ lunch are included, cash bar available.

Three days a week we offer short 2-hour late afternoon sailings, a perfect way to start your evening.

When you sail with us you’re helping others too, as funds raised are used to take kids on life-changing youth development voyages over winter.
