Tall Ship MJ -Sailing in St Joseph, MI

MJ is a vintage sailing schooner that has that "old friend" feeling even when meeting her for the first time!  She is a warm, charming, wooden schooner built in 1975, but modeled after work boats from Nova Scotia that were popular about 120 years ago.

Her day job is to share the timeless wonder of sailing ships on the Inland Seas.  She is available for daily sailing excursions, private events, or  special group programs.  

As lovely as it is to see the sun on the blue water, or watch the birds at sunset - MJ's job extends beyond showing our guest a great time. A foundational part of our summer program is to provide excellent training to our crew. Whether we are their first ship or just a stop along the way, we are dedicated to advancing their maritime career. While sailing under MJ's mast we work to give our team of sailors strong skills in seamanship, rigging, communication, collaboration and to build steps for their next move in the industry.
