Charter Schooner Adirondack III or America 2.0
General Information
Adirondack III
Adirondack III is certified for up to 45 guests. Unlike many historic schooners, she was built and designed specifically for carrying passengers comfortably; so, even with a full boat of 45 guests, all have room to sit and move about the decks.
She is 80 feet long over all with a 16 foot beam. The lines of Adirondack III are modeled after the 1890’s style pilot schooners. She is long and lean with a plumb bow, helping her ply through the waters more effortlessly than the average schooner. This is an all-wooden vessel with a white glass overlay haul. She is quite easy to pick out amongst other schooners with her smooth clean lines.
Teak decks and brilliantly varnished mahogany rails and trimmings surround our guests. 70 foot Douglas Fir masts and just under 2000 square feet of sails stretch to the skies over head. Adirondack III is sure to dazzle you and your guests with her majestic beauty.
Adirondack III is a U.S. Coast Guard certified vessel sailing with U.S. Coast Guard licensed captains and only the most experienced and hospitable crew. She is equipped with life jackets for all, two well appointed bathrooms, blankets for cool evenings, and beverages on all trips.
Feel free to arrange for catering on board. We have a number of suggested local caterers here in Key West. Our crew will take care of serving and bussing after all of your guests with the greatest of ease and courtesy.

Classic Harbor Line offers a competitive and educationalteam-building program aboard her schooners. The program involves a set of contests that require communication, teamwork and planning skills. With these hands-on activities, teams will not only have a great time, but will also collectively learn quite a bit about the basics of sailing and line-handling. To ensure the safety of all the participants, team-builders start off with an on-deck safety session and a crew member is assigned to each team to ensure that each guest has a great time and stays out of harm’s way while competing. The program can last 2-4 hours, depending on the number of guests and activities included. There should be 2-5 teams created for the charter with 3-7 members on each team. (35 guests is the max for a hands-on team-builder). Team-builders are often ended with a picnic luncheon and an optional standard open bar.
