Thursdays Aboard ARGIA: Live Music with James Harris

Thursdays aboard ARGIA: Live Music with James Harris combines live acoustic music with sunset sailing aboard ARGIA for a shoreline experience that feels distinctly Mystic. Taking place on select Thursday evenings throughout the season, the public sailing trips feature local favorite James Harris performing acoustic classic and modern rock while guests cruise through the coastal waters surrounding downtown Mystic.

Harris, a guitarist and vocalist well known around the Mystic music scene, has spent more than a decade performing aboard ARGIA during private charters and now brings that atmosphere to public evening sails. His laid-back acoustic sets pair naturally with the rhythm of the water and the slower pace of an evening harbor cruise, creating an experience that feels more intimate than a traditional concert venue. The combination of live music, sea air, and shoreline views transforms the sail into part concert, part summer escape.

Scheduled dates include May 14 at 6:00 PM, June 11 at 6:00 PM, and September 10 at 5:30 PM, with each sailing lasting approximately two hours. Guests can reserve tickets through the ARGIA website by selecting their preferred sailing date and time. For couples, visitors, or locals looking for something different from the standard restaurant-and-bar night out, the event offers one of the more uniquely coastal live music experiences happening in southeastern Connecticut this season.
