Schooners & Sailboat Cruises

Schooners & Sailboat Cruises - VT Statewide Even landlubbers who rarely step from a dock onto the rocking hull of a boat generally know that a “schooner” refers to a vessel with masts and sails. What fewer people might realize is that the legendary Lake Champlain in northwestern Vermont is the home water of schooner captains who will take visitors on breathtaking cruises among the most brilliant blues and greens found anywhere on Earth. Long, meandering Lake Champlain is a very deep slash in the Earth surrounded by steep embankments topped by magnificent northern pine forests, its shores dotted with small marinas, towns, farms, and interesting houses.
