One more month of sailing in our season remaining, and it's sure to be some of the best!

Fall in Maine is beautiful and breezy, lending to some picturesque scenery and great sailing conditions.  It may be a little cooler on the water, but bring a hot beverage and your camera to capture the beautiful foliage, and we'll keep you warm and entertained with our woolen blankets and stories of the sea.  

The Cutter Owl will be sailing through to the end of September for public sails, while the Schooner Olad will end it's season closer to the end of October.  The Owl will also be available with advance notice for private charters in October, weather permitting. 

The crowds are light, the kids are back in school, and the sailing is looking to be fantastic.  We hope you'll join us!

Great Summer Sailing!

Submitted by Susie Cooke on

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!

Warm Summer Sailing

Summer days are here, and the sailing is great out on Penobscot Bay.  The warmer weather is perfect for evening sunset sails.  Bring along a bottle of wine and some snacks, and enjoy the relaxing view as the sun sets behind the Camden Hills.  We'll be continuing our sunset sails for only a couple more weeks on the Schooner Olad, so book yourself a romantic evening with us while the long days last.
Our next special event will be a morning sail and luncheon lobster bake on August 10th.  Spend a great day with us out among the islands of Islesboro, and enjoy a terrific lobster bake prepared for you by our crew.  To book, please call 207-236-2323 or visit www.maineschooners.com.

We'll be seeing you out on the water!
