Trip Description

Enjoy days of sailing, and evenings of relaxing conversation, music provided by the captains, or quiet reflection on your day and surroundings.

No set itinerary. We'll let the winds, weather, and tides determine where we sail and where we anchor. Our favorite anchorages are in the harbors of fishing villages or small coastal communities, or quiet coves of secluded islands.

If you’d like to go for a walk while the schooner’s anchored, we’ll organize a rowing party using one of our shore boats. There are also a couple of small boats for individual use or small groups.

Sometime during the trip, enjoy an all-you-can-eat lobster picnic on an uninhabited island's pristine beach. For those with restricted diets, an alternate choice is available with advance notice.

This trip is perfect for letting go of everyday stress or when combining activities during your vacation. Dads and Grand-dads, this is a wonderful way to celebrate Father's Day with you kids or grandkids, or both!
