Sail Acadia

Sail Acadia offers intimate sailing experiences aboard a traditional Friendship sloop, a wooden vessel design rooted in Maine’s maritime history. Guided by a USCG-licensed captain and Maine Guide, trips explore the waters around Mount Desert Island, including the Cranberry Islands and Somes Sound. Options range from relaxed sailing tours and sunset cruises to lobster- and nature-focused outings and private charters. Along the way, guests often spot seals, porpoises, eagles and other coastal wildlife, with lighthouses and island scenery framing the route. With a small guest capacity, each sail feels personal and unhurried, allowing time to appreciate wind, water and the enduring rhythms of Maine’s coast.
