About

  • We sail for best performance based on wind direction. Regardless of where we sail, you'll see the beautiful coast of Maine.
  • Sailing is a great chance to see plenty of marine wildlife.
  • If your group is interested in anchoring to swim, we are happy to do so if weather permits!
  • We are the only sailing vessel in Perkins Cove that is Coast Guard Certified for safety.

What to Bring

  • Please dress according to the weather. It's typically 8-10 degrees cooler on the water than it is on land.
  • You are welcome to bring your own food and drink aboard. The only thing we do not allow onboard is lobster. For all beverages, please bring plastic cups to drink from.

Adventure Tips

Dress in Layers for Coastal Weather

Temperatures on the water can be 8-10°F cooler than on land, so bring a windbreaker or fleece to stay comfortable.

Bring Your Own Food and Drinks

Enjoy a customized picnic onboard, but avoid bringing lobster as it's not allowed on the vessel.

Use Plastic Cups for Beverages

To keep the vessel safe and clean, bring drinks in plastic cups rather than glass containers.

Be Ready to Swim if Weather Permits

If conditions are right, you can anchor for a swim—bring a swimsuit and towel just in case.
