Highlights
There are a lot of ways to get out on the water in Maine, but we make every charter feel personal, relaxed, and genuinely memorable. We’re a small, family-run sailing charter, and Sasa is a thoughtfully restored and beautifully outfitted yacht designed to feel warm, welcoming, and comfortable from the moment you step aboard. A half-day sail is the easiest way to get out on the water and see the Maine coast from a completely different perspective. This small group Maine sailing charter is perfect if you want a relaxed few hours to cruise, take in the views, brush up and your sail trim, or just relax and maybe sneak in a swim on a warm day.

About Portland
Portland is Maine's largest city, a working harbour on Casco Bay with a cobbled old port, a lighthouse and a celebrated food scene.
Portland sits on a hilly peninsula in Casco Bay, a working harbour with fishing boats, ferries and a historic district, the Old Port, of brick warehouses and cobbled streets. The Portland Observatory, a shingled signal tower of 1807, is the last of its kind in the country, and the Victoria Mansion is a richly decorated Italianate house of the 1860s. The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born here in 1807.
