For decades, the Schooner Bay Lady II has offered visitors to Provincetown an authentic Cape Cod sailing experience rooted in family tradition, seamanship, and hospitality. Family owned and operated, the schooner continues a long maritime legacy on Provincetown Harbor, where guests can enjoy relaxing day sails and unforgettable sunset cruises. Every trip aboard the Bay Lady II reflects the personal care and attention that comes from a hands-on family business dedicated to sharing the beauty of Cape Cod Bay.

Today, the Bay Lady II remains operated by the Burns family following the passing of Captain Bob Burns, whose lifelong connection to Provincetown sailing helped shape the schooner into a beloved local institution. The vessel is now run by his son, Captain Tim Burns, alongside Captain Bob’s wife, Kate, who serves as first mate. Together, they continue the tradition of welcoming guests aboard with warmth, preserving the relaxed and personal atmosphere that has made the Bay Lady II a favorite Provincetown sailing business for decades.

Whether visitors are longtime returning guests or experiencing Provincetown from the water for the first time, the crew of the Bay Lady II strives to create a memorable and genuinely local sailing experience. From the moment the sails are raised over Provincetown Harbor, guests are treated not only to spectacular coastal views, but also to the feeling of sailing with a family that has spent a lifetime on these waters.
