PirateFest Schooner Sail

Climb aboard Schooner Virginia and set sail for a family-friendly pirate adventure on the Elizabeth River during Nauticus’ PirateFest!
Experience the thrill of sailing aboard Virginia’s official tall ship as our crew hoists the sails and the wind carries you along Norfolk’s historic waterfront. Young pirates and seasoned sailors alike are invited to lend a hand, learn about life aboard a traditional schooner, and enjoy a one-of-a-kind morning on the water.
Bring a packed lunch and make a day of it! Enjoy your meal on deck while taking in views of the harbor, passing vessels, and the Downtown Norfolk skyline. Come aboard, embrace your inner pirate, and experience Norfolk from the deck of a historic tall ship!
Boarding begins at 9:30 AM. Sail will last until 12PM.
