Wind, Water, and Wonder: Discover the World of Sailing

Set sail for a day of exploration at Wind, Water, and Wonder, a special Discovery Day at Nauticus! On Saturday, March 15, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m., we invite you to immerse yourself in the excitement of sailing and maritime discovery.

This day is your chance to explore the entire Nauticus Discovery Center, including one of our newest exhibits, Design, Build, Sail!, where you can dive into the creativity and engineering behind sailing vessels. Plus, enjoy discounted museum admission for just $12 per person all day!

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or new to the world of sailing, there’s something for everyone. Take part in hands-on activities, an interactive workshop, and engaging demonstrations—from learning the art of knot tying and the science of bathymetry to discovering how to harness the power of the wind.

For those eager to get out on the water, we’re offering the chance to sail aboard our Harbor 20 sailboats for as little as $15 for members and $35 for non-members—a perfect opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing firsthand! Click here to learn more or purchase.

Join us for a full day of discovery, adventure, and wonder at Nauticus. No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a love for the water!
