Sunset Sail Salem
About
Sunset Sail Salem runs daily sails and private charters out of Salem aboard historic classic schooners, the When And If and the Malabar X. Trips explore Salem Sound, Marblehead Neck, Cape Ann and views of the Boston skyline, passing lighthouses, islands and local wildlife along the way. Morning sails, afternoon daysails and sunset cruises give visitors several ways to get out on the water, and the company bills the experience as an authentic North Shore sailing outing.
The When And If carries a notable history: she was launched in 1939 for General George Patton, who planned to sail her around the world when the war was over and if he lived through it. She recently returned from adventures on the Great Lakes to take over the late-season sailing in Salem. Malabar X, her senior sister, sails summers in Salem and winters in Key West, Florida.
