 MAINE SAILING OPTIONS

 

Our overnight charters can accomodate 3 people, in 2 private cabins.  One queen berth, with ensuite head, and one single berth, which shares a head with the  captains quarters.

 

Option #1

 

Our 2-day, one-night package begins about 10AM, and ends the following day about 4PM.  Two lunches, one dinner and one breakfast our included.  Click here to see a sample menu.   The itinerary is planned according to wind and weather...with your input taken into consideration.  A quiet anchorage or busy Boothbay Harbor could be the destination...it's up to you.

Participation is encouraged, but not necessary

 


  Option #2  

 

The 3-day, 2-nite package is our most popular.  That extra night at anchor is sure to wash away any stress you might have arrived with, and put you in an 'island' state of mind.  It also gives you the chance to see and experience more of the spectacular Maine coast.  South to Casco Bay, or up the coast to Muscongus...both are easily within reach.  Once the anchor is down, you'll have time to explore the shoreline before dinner is prepared.  Your charter begins at approximately 10AM, but you may embark up to 1 hour before departure.  All meals are included.

 


 Option #3

 

This one is made to order!  If you would like some longer passages, you can book a cruise for up to 8 days/7 nights.  This trip would take you to Penobscot Bay, with perhaps a stop in Muscongus Bay along the way.  We'll pass by Eastern Egg Rock, one of the few nesting sites for Puffins on the coast of Maine.  You are almost certain to see them in July and August. 

 

Spend a night in Rockland or Camden Harbor, homes to the many schooners that sail Penobscot Bay.  Or we can sail up to Castine, where visitors are welcome  to tour the Maine Maritime Academy, and the 'State of Maine', their 500-ft training ship.

 

Of course, a trip to Penobscot wouldn't be complete without a stop in one or more of the hundreds of coves along uninhabited islands where you can explore the sandy beaches and rocky coastlines.  You may even want to collect a bucket of mussels...the cook would be happy to prepare them for you!

 

This option would afford time to reach Mt. Desert Island.  A visit to Acadia National Park is unforgettable.  'Thunderhole', Bubble Pond', 'The Jordan House', and of course Cadillac Mountain.  The free shuttle will provide transportation to all of these natural attractions.

 

This trip will really give you a feeling of what the "cruising lifestyle" is all about.  But be forewarned...flexibility in plans is the key to a great time!
