The Gundalow Company offers private charters aboard the gundalow PISCATAQUA. The typical charter sail is 2 hours long, departing from our dock in Prescott Park, Portsmouth and sailing to the mouth of the Piscataqua River past forts, lighthouses, and the Naval shipyard and prison. We can make arrangements to sail from appropriate private docks, adjust the trip length, or offer other special programming – so contact us to discuss possibilities.
The PISCATAQUA is the ideal vessel for company retreats, family reunions, special events, and much more. With one flat, wide, open deck with views all around, she accommodates up to 46 guests*. Gundalows have a flat bottom, which makes for a smooth sail that allows guests to enjoy their trip in comfort – expect a relaxing cruise on the river as the breeze guides us along! The below-deck cabin can easily seat up to 12 people, and the forward hatch offers a marine head (bathroom).
Guests are welcome to bring their own food or beverages and will find plenty of room for trays and coolers. If you would like your event catered, we can provide you with a list of recommended caterers. We also have the option to start or end your trip at the riverfront restaurants!
The gundalow can accommodate live music onboard. If you would like to book an acoustic ensemble for your cruise, we can suggest some local musicians who have played onboard in the past. Whether maritime folk, brass, jazz, or a cappella, we can find a group to fit your interests.

Please note that we are unable to provide trips for “Burials At Sea” including spreading ashes due to EPA requirements for being farther off the coast, as we only sail along the river and not into the ocean.
