Riverwalk Landing Piers
Kalmar Nyckel, The Tall Ship of Delaware, returns to the shores of the York River, from Wednesday, June 11 through Saturday, June 14, offering 2.5-hour day sails and deck tours on the York River. The ship will dock at the Riverwalk Landing Piers, 425 Water Street, Yorktown, VA.
Day sails on the Kalmar Nyckel offer a unique, hands-on experience where you are invited to haul lines and set sails to the rhythm of a chantey song. You may also choose to talk with the crew to learn about Kalmar Nyckel’s history and simply relax and enjoy time on the water. Only four days of 2.5-hour sails are planned on Wednesday, June 11, through Saturday, June 45.
Climb aboard this magnificent square-rigged full scale replica of the Swedish war ship that brought settlers to North America in 1638 and explore life as a 17th-century sailor.
Tickets for day sails are available online for $75 per adult and $40 per child 12 and younger (recommended for ages 8 and above). Advanced reservations are highly recommended. Space is limited to 49 passengers per sail. The schedule is weather dependent and subject to change.
