Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Cruise past the full-scale replica of the Pilgrims’ original ship. Learn about the 1620 voyage, the passengers who made history, and how the Mayflower II was built and brought to Plymouth.

Stop 2 Pass by

See America’s most legendary rock from the harbor as we share the story behind its symbolism—and separate myth from reality.

Sail through one of New England’s oldest working harbors. Hear about the lobstermen, fishing boats, and cruise vessels that shape the town’s economy and culture.

Pass by the charming Duxbury Pier Light—better known as "Bug Light"—a squat, sparkplug-style lighthouse that has guarded the bay for over a century.

Glide by the lush, historic Clark’s Island—where some say the Pilgrims almost settled. Hear how it played a role in their early explorations.

Enjoy views of the long barrier beach that protects Plymouth Harbor. On select trips, we may pass beachgoers, paddleboarders, and wildlife that thrive in this scenic stretch.
