Private Sailing Charter in Camden, Maine

Book a classic sailing yacht with captain just for your group for three hours on Penobscot Bay. Islands, lighthouses, seals and the Camden Hills skyline, at your own pace.

Camden is the capital of traditional sailing in Maine, with a harbour full of schooners and classic wooden yachts. On this three-hour private sail your group has a yacht and its captain to itself, cruising Penobscot Bay without sharing the deck.

What you can do

  • Sail among islands such as Curtis Island and its lighthouse at the harbour entrance.
  • Watch seals, bald eagles and lobster boats at work.
  • Take the helm and help with the sails if you like.
  • Toast the sunset with views of the Camden Hills.

Who it is for

Couples, families and small groups who want an exclusive experience: anniversaries, proposals or simply a relaxed afternoon under sail. No experience needed; the captain handles everything and will happily explain the history of the boat and the bay.

What to bring

  • Warm and waterproof layers; the wind on the bay is cool.
  • Non-marking shoes.
  • Food and drinks for a picnic, or choose the catering option.

Best time to go

June to September. July and August have the most pleasant temperatures; September brings steady wind and fewer boats. In thick fog or storms, the time or date is changed.

Included

  • Private sailing yacht with captain
  • Life jackets
  • Water and ice
  • Harbour fees

FAQs

Up to 6 passengers on the standard yacht.

Can we bring food and drinks?

Yes, bring your own picnic or add catering.

What if there is fog?

The captain decides if it is safe; if not, the time or date is changed.
