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
