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!
