Public Sails

Sail back in time aboard the Spirit of Buffalo and discover traditional sailing on a classic 73-ft. topsail schooner. This beautiful schooner with its magnificent red sails is available for day and evening sails on Lake Erie, sunset sails, craft brew cruises, wine in the wind sails, children's pirate adventures, and educational excursions. Join the crew and hoist the red sails, or sit back, relax and see the city in a new (old?) way. Explore our Buffalo, NY public cruises below!
