Fall is a great time to sail in Maine!

Our sailing season is still going strong!

September is an amazing time of year to sail in Penobscot Bay out of Camden Harbor.  The weather may be cooling off a bit, but the breezes are great, and there's still lots to see out on the water.  The Olad sails 4 times daily for two hour trips morning, afternoon, and sunset.  The Owl will be sailing daily through the end of September when her season ends.  If you have not sailed aboard the Owl yet, September is the perfect time.

Lastly, to say thank you to our local friends and neighbors in Maine, we are offering 10% the regular ticket price for residence of Maine who have a Knox, Lincoln, or Waldo County zip code.  Let us know you're our neighbor when booking and we'll give you your discount.  We really appreciate all of your support...thank you very much!

Great Summer Sailing!

Are there really only 2 more weeks of August left?!?!
Summer has gone sailing by, but there's still time to get in a cruise aboard a beautiful sailing vessel on Penobscot Bay before August comes to a close.  We've had some truly exceptional days for sailing this summer, and we're looking forward to many more as we move into our late summer and fall sailing seasons. 
We've moved our sailing schedule in the evenings to accommodate the earlier sunset.  Both the Olad and Owl will be leaving the dock promptly at 6pm for a two hour sunset sail until September when our schedule will switch again.  As with any of our cruises, bring along your favorite snacks and beverages to further enhance the experience.  We'll take care of the rest!
Labor Day is soon upon us, with lot's of fun activities at the Camden Windjammer Festival.  We'll be sailing all weekend to get some great views of the beautiful windjammers making their way into Camden for the weekend's festivities.  We hope you'll be able to join the fun!
Happy Sailing!
