Setting sail with tradition and style since 1986. The American Rover is a 150 passenger Three-Masted Topsail Schooner offering daily 1 ½ and 2 Hour Harbor and Sunset cruises under sail on the smooth waters of the Elizabeth River.  Guests are free to lend a hand with the sails, take a turn at the helm, or just sit back and relax as the captain points out the sights of the historic Norfolk Harbor.   This elegant sailing ship with her distinctive red sails is Coast Guard certified and inspected for safety.  Ample comfortable seating is available on the shaded upper deck and there is ship store and bar in the spacious, air-conditioned below deck area.  The American Rover is also one of the most popular destinations in Norfolk for weddings, field trips, group outings and company parties.  Cruises depart from the Waterside Festival Marketplace April thru October.
