The Sappho Sailing Tour Experience
Sappho is a Cherubini 44. Named for the Greek poetess Sappho, of 500 B.C.
Sappho is a beautiful sailing yacht based on the design of the classic naval architect, Nathaniel Herreshoff (1848 – 1938). The vessel can reach up to 10 knots under sail with just the slightest bit of heel. Feeling the wind in the sails as Sappho glides along the harbor is truly one of a kind experience. There is open air seating on deck, either in the cockpit or on the cabin top. All passengers will be comfortable. Sappho is built to create a fun and memorable experience for all. Check out the video below for a more detailed look at Sappho’s beauty.
