Our Captains

All of our captains are Coast Guard certified. The schooner captains all have a minimum 50-ton license and a sailing endorsement. Northern Lights captains all have a minimum 100-ton license. Our captains are also trained in first aid and CPR and are registered in an ongoing drug-testing program. Perhaps of equal importance, we require that our captains have an appreciation for quality service and are extremely charming hosts.

Our Land Ambassadors

There are a number of behind-the-scenes crew members at Classic Harbor Line. They are the team who answer the phones, plan your event, greet you on the pier and is happy to tell everyone about the cool cruises and sails that we have to offer.

Everyone who buys a ticket for a trip gets to meet a Land Ambassador at check-in. They are full of information and they are the most hospitable people you will ever meet! Ask them for recommendations on dinner after or before a sail or a suggestion on a future excursion.
