Fourth of July Parade of Sail Passage

Be part of history aboard the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA as she returns to New York City's historic waters for a truly extraordinary occasion—the Sail4th 250 Parade of Sail on July 4.
This is more than a sailing excursion. It is a rare opportunity to join ELISSA's crew and experience the nation's premier maritime celebrations from the deck of a National Historic Landmark. The last time ELISSA sailed in Galveston for a major public event of this scale was in 1986. Nearly four decades later, she will once again take her place leading a fleet of historic vessels commemorating America's 250th anniversary.
Only 50 guest spaces are available for this exclusive voyage, making it one of the most limited and memorable experiences ever offered aboard the nearly 150-year-old ELISSA.
As a guest, you'll sail alongside the crew, witness the Parade of Sail from a perspective few will ever experience, and become part of a living maritime tradition that connects the past to the present. Feel the wind in the sails, hear the commands of the crew, and watch history unfold as ELISSA proudly sails into another historic chapter of her story.
Space is limited to 50 guests. Advance reservations are required. Your ticket directly supports this historic vessel and its maritime history programming.
