Maine Sailing Adventures
Share in Our Adventure
Maine Sailing Adventures welcomes you to enjoy the heritage and splendor of Casco Bay aboard our 74-foot Maine built windjammer, Frances. Built on Portland's waterfront, Frances' design is reminiscent of the 1800s Maine windjammer used up and down the coast for fishing and trade. She now sails daily off the Maine State Pier in Portland's Old Port. Join us for a two-hour sail: pack a picnic, listen to seafaring tales of Portland's maritime history, and enjoy Maine's natural landscape on the bay. Also available for private charter. Share in Our Adventure.
