Elegant and spacious, Volendam takes her décor cues from the garden. Her grand public spaces are graced with floral fabrics and tapestries, as well as huge vases of fresh floral arrangements. Enjoy regional cooking demonstrations and food and wine tastings with Port to Table programming. Relax with a spa treatment at the Greenhouse Salon & Spa. Or dine in one of our selections of fine restaurants.

Good Harbor was beautiful on Saturday.  The waves and surfers were fun to watch.  The ocean temperature was nice.

Went walking with my daughter Ericka and my grand dog Freddy to Magnolia Pier.  He really likes the float.  Grateful for the wonderful weather.

During the 2024 Parade of Sails, Stephanie was rowing the dory respectfully around the schooners.   Stephanie’s face shows the enjoyment of being out in the water.

On Sunday the parade of sails was incredible.  It was actually emotional watching the schooners sailing around our beautiful Gloucester Harbor.  Thank you again to the committee who put this wonderful event every year.

Rick and I went on the beautiful Lannon yesterday.  When on this schooner you feel like you have no worries and just never want to get off.  Thank you The Lannon and crew for a great sail.
