Featured August sailing cruises

Summer is busy! So busy that you might have given up on getting away. But it’s not too late! Book an August getaway and you’ll be sailing away before you know it.

3-night sailings

August 21-24 aboard Schooner MARY DAY

While three days of sailing may seem brief, it’s the perfect way to experience a taste of life aboard a Maine windjammer. With evening stops in charming harbors, a lobster picnic on the beach, and days filled with fresh breezes under sail, Mary Day glides along the coast, eager to share the many treasures of coastal Maine. $1,360 p.p


August 28-31 aboard Schooner GRACE BAILEY

Don’t say goodbye to summer just yet. While some sailors are heading home, we’re still out here soaking up all the bay has to offer — the warmest water of the year, lingering evenings, hearty breezes, and plenty of time to explore. $1,530 p.p.


4-night sailings

August 16-20 aboard Schooner MARY DAY
