 Schooner Brilliant Summer Sailing Program

Schooner Brilliant Summer Sailing Program

Sail aboard our famous and prize-winning, 62-foot schooner Brilliant as you take the helm, raise the sails, stand watch, and navigate into beautiful New England harbors. As part of the oldest sail education program in the country, Brilliant teaches adults and teens (15-18) alike traditional nautical skills and other lessons of the sea. Register for a scheduled sail or charter the boat for your group.


Dyer Dhow Fleet

Dyer Dhow Fleet

Launched in 1950, the Mariner Training Program at Mystic Seaport began with just six Dyer Dhows donated from local yacht clubs. Now through the continued generosity of clubs and individuals, Mystic Seaport is home port to the largest active fleet of 9-foot Dyer Dhows in the world! Used as part of Community Sailing and the Joseph Conrad Summer Sailing Camp programs, thousands have learned to sail and continue to race these Dyers regularly.
