A spectacular tall ship will once again grace Cape Charles Town Harbor with the visit July 13-17 of the beautiful Schooner Virginia. Sponsored by the Cape Charles Yacht Club, the Virginia will host free daily deck tours as well as public and private sunset sails. This will be the first official visit to Cape Charles by a tall ship since the tall ship festivals of 2012-2015 which brought thousands of visitors to this historic Chesapeake Bay town. Tickets for two-hour Chesapeake Bay sails aboard Virginia are $60 per person. They may be purchased online at https://nauticus.org/events/schooner-sail. The ship can accommodate up to 55 guests per sail.  Private charters by clubs, corporations and other organizations are also available. Visit https://nauticus.org/explore/schooner-virginia for more information. The Virginia, a 122-foot gaff-rigged knockabout tall ship, is a modern replica of the last pure tall sail vessel built for the Virginia Pilot Association.  The original ship sailed for the pilots from 1917-1926, training apprentice pilots in seamanship and navigation.
