Rockland Based Expeditions: Coastal w/ Offshore Overnight Sail
The coast is where all the action and challenge is: commercial traffic, rocks, tides and currents. Maine is one of the most difficult areas to sail in the US, notorious for large tides and thick fog—but the beauty is unbeatable! These expeditions feature long days of lessons, planning, navigation, drills, scenarios and fun. We’ll sail among the islands, ledges, and schooners of Maine’s bold coast, most likely encountering some fog and other challenges along the way. These Coastal & Offshore expeditions include an overnight sail of approximately 100nm so you can learn and experience watch standing routines and protocols for passages.
Travel Recommendations: Fly round trip into Portland (PWM) or Boston (BOS). From there, take the Concord Coach Lines bus to Rockland, rent a car (Budget, Avis and Enterprise have offices nearby), or fly to Knox County Airport via Cape Air. Many students coordinate shared car rentals when their flight schedules align.
Private Expeditions:
We offer 4 and 5 day Private Maine Coast Expeditions, or a 5-day Coastal with an overnight sail. You’ll have the whole boat to yourself (minimum 2 people) and be able to choose your dates. We’ll work with you to create an itinerary to help you reach your goals. All private expeditions start and end in Rockland, ME. Please contact us to discuss your goals and our availability. Please note, we do have a busy summer schedule and there often isn’t much time to add in private charters. We often encourage students to re-consider our group expeditions, as the group learning environment offers many educational benefits.
