About
Come aboard The Pineapple Ketch for the perfect end of your day in Kennebunkport. This romantic hour and a half sail will take you out the mouth of the Kennebunk river and up the rocky coast of Kennebunkport. These trips are not only for couples but anyone who dreams of sailing with soft light bouncing off the water and illuminating our stunning shoreline. Evening sails depart from the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport. We find great sailing during the hours prior to sunset.

Perhaps something bubbly to toast the end of another perfect day in Maine?
