With over 42 opportunities to get on a vessel and sail, 30 hours of deck tours, and free museum access all weekend, this is going to be an event to remember!

Big thank you to our Signature Sponor, Gloucester 400+, whose dedication to accessible events throughout the year is making it possible for us to put in the docks and have FREE deck tours all Rendevous long.
