Daily Sailing Schedule
The following
new
schedule is for our daily sails offered from May through October.
LOBSTER
LUNCH CRUISE
10:30 - 1:30
daily
$65/person
The perfect cruise to see the bay
& enjoy the taste of Maine Lobster. Watch
osprey
and eagles soar overhead.
See the
harbor
seals basking on the ledges at Robinson's Rocks and simply relax as the
Schooner HERON
takes the
bay
in her stride on our favorite downwind leg. Bonnie will serve a
specially
prepared Lobster Roll Lunch
(in spring & fall lunch will be hot seafood chowder and fresh baked
biscuits)
then
we'll
tack over towards North Haven and round the whistle buoy by the ledges.
Hot tea or coffee with cookies top off
the perfect
trip as we fall off the wind and head back into Rockport Harbor.
Let a trip
on
HERON highlight your vacation.
INDIAN
ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE/WILDLIFE SAIL
2:00 - 4:30
daily $38/person
Join us
aboard Schooner Heron for an afternoon sail. Heron will round Indian
Island Lighthouse while we tell the seafaring history of Rockport
Harbor and the significance of the lighthouses in the lime trade.
Depending on wind & tide we will head towards Owls Head &
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouses, Curtis Island Lighthouse, or cross the
bay to the birthplace of Andre the seal-Robinson's Rock. There are
dozens of Harbor Seals that call this rock home, as well as porpoise in
the surrounding waters. On our return we will spot the Bald Eagles nest
on Mark Island. This is an very enjoyable sail as well as an
educational insight into the natural history of the Maine Coast.
Full
day
Lighthouse Tours are also available on selected Sundays.
GOURMET
SUNSET SAIL
5:30 - sunset
daily
$50/person
The prettiest time of the
day.
HERON will tack out of Rockport Harbor, we'll ease her sheets and round
Indian Island Light
for her favorite point of sail, a
beam reach across the Bay. Perfect conditions for HERON;
comfortable
and fast! We love to sail
off the wind to serve hors
d'oeuvres
(BYOB). We'll see the seals on Robinsons Rock, run down between the
islands
or tack across the
bay to North Haven. By now the sun
will be setting behind the Camden Hills. We are back to Rockport Harbor
in good time for the evening ashore. You are welcomed to bring along a
bottle of wine to enjoy on your trip. (For a taste of Maine wine we
suggest
a visit to the Cellardoor Winery
&
Vineyard in nearby Lincolnville. They offer winery tours & a
great
selections of wines made right there.)
