The collection
01Work a lobster trap, skim past Wood Island Light, and watch Saco Bay turn to gold—all in a small-group, 1.5-hour cruise that blends authentic coastal culture with a knockout sunset. It’s hands-on, family-friendly, and refreshingly real.
02Set your course for Saco Bay on a flexible four-hour sail that threads between islands, slips up the Saco River, and makes room for a swim when conditions align. It’s Maine in a manageable dose—wild edges, working tides, and a coastline that rewards curiosity.
03Sail the Gulf of Maine and slip into the Saco River just as the day exhales, with minke whales, seals, and eagles playing the supporting cast. A private yacht, tailored itinerary, and golden-hour light make this the coastal Maine evening you’ll talk about all year.
04Board a private charter in Saco and spend four unrushed hours weaving between Wood Island Light, seal-studded ledges, and quiet river bends. With room for six, a seasoned Maine Guide, and options from lobster-trap pulls to island picnics, this is coastal Maine at your own pace.
05Sail from the Saco River into the open sweep of Saco Bay with just six guests on board. Wood Island Light, seals, and a slow-burn sunset turn two hours on the water into a Maine memory that lingers long after you’re back on the dock.
06Haul traps beside Wood Island Light, cast for stripers in the rips, and learn the conservation-minded rhythm of a working Maine fishery—all in four focused hours on Saco Bay. This private charter blends hands-on learning with sweeping coastal scenery.
07Short, sweet, and salt-sprayed—this private two-hour charter brings families and first-timers up close to Saco Bay’s fish, seals, and the storied Wood Island Light. Easy logistics, steady guidance, and postcard views make it a perfect Maine coastal sampler.
