SAIL BOSTON® 2026

Sail250® celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States with an extraordinary parade of tall ships and naval vessels from around the world. The initiative will bring together crews, cadets and visitors through a rich programme of activities dedicated to maritime culture and traditions.

 

The city of Boston will host the fifth and final stop of the event, from 11 to 14 July 2026, welcoming an international fleet of tall ships and naval vessels from more than 25 countries as part of one of the flagship maritime celebrations of the Sail250® programme.

 

On 11 July, the spectacular Parade of Sail will officially open the event. Led by the USCGC Eagle, America’s largest sailing vessel, the impressive procession of tall ships will sail through Broad Sound and Boston’s main shipping channel, along the city’s waterfront, before turning towards Charlestown and proceeding to their designated berthing areas.

Accessibility on board the Amerigo Vespucci

Please note that, due to the Ship’s structural characteristics—designed in an era when accessibility provisions were not in place—there may be limitations for visitors with reduced mobility.
In particular, architectural barriers prevent the installation of ramps for wheelchair access. As a result, for technical and safety reasons, access cannot generally be guaranteed for visitors with mobility impairments requiring aids such as wheelchairs.

 

The crew of the Amerigo Vespucci is fully committed to ensuring a welcoming and inclusive experience for all visitors.
We recognise the importance of providing the best possible experience and, where feasible within the Ship’s structural constraints, individual cases will be assessed on site.
