Welcome Aboard!

Call of the Sea is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people to the sea through the unique hands-on experience of sailing a traditional vessel.

Call of the Sea News

Our 2008 Bay Exploration season will end in mid - November with our Seaward crew of educators heading off on their merry ways.  Seaward will be in the Bay this winter, and will be available for the occasional charter.  We will replace the standing rigging on Seaward this winter, and be ready for another glorious season in 2009.
