Day sails on the Kalmar Nyckel offer a unique, hands-on experience where you are invited to haul lines and set sails to the rhythm of a chantey song. You may also choose to talk with the crew to learn about Kalmar Nyckel’s history and simply relax and enjoy time on the water. Only three days of 2.5-hour sails are planned on Wednesday, June 11, through Saturday, June 14.
