Topsail Schooner Wolf to Visit Beaufort

Published In: News

Look for sails in the inlet on May 16 or 17 when we expect this classic gaff-rigged schooner to come sailing in after the trip up the coast from Key West.

 Take to the sea for adventure with the Conch Republic's First Sea Lord, Admiral Finbar, and sail the breathtaking waters of historic Beaufort Inlet!

 The WOLF will be docked at Gallants Channel in Beaufort May 18 through 28 and be open for dockside tours on May 19, 20, 26,27 and 28. Friends of the Museum members may tour this vessel at the dock for FREE! There will be a $5 fee for non-members. Two hour cruises will be offered on the evenings of May 18, 25, 26, and 27 and Friends members can sail for just $25 ($50 non-members). Private charters are also available with a 20% discount for members so you can have a custom sailing adventure and support the Friends of the Museum as a portion of all proceeds will be donated to the Friends.
