Had such a great time on the Casco Bay Morning Windjammer sail! The breeze was perfect, the views were beautiful, and the crew was super chill and friendly. It’s a really relaxing way to spend the morning in Portland. Oh, and definitely bring your own drinks and snacks if you want — makes it even better. Totally 5 stars from me!

    We got to sail on a 101 year old schooner. The weather was great but we did not have enough wind to fill the sails. The sails were raised and anyone who was willing was able to join in. It was lovely to see the huge sails ready to push us along . Even if we could not have the wind take across the water-the crew was great. Heill was a great tour guide and so interesting. She answered all our questions and listened to our stories. We felt very safe having her and Jake crew the boat. Our captain was very friendly and made us know we were safe.

    Windjammer cruise

    It was nice and relaxing and we enjoyed talking with the crew. The boat was gorgeous and the crew was hardworking and efficient

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thanks for sharing, Jen! We're glad you had a relaxing time.

    Good experience to get a feel of the islands.

    Rahul_S, Jul 2025
    Good experience, the duration of the sailing time was just right for the money. We enjoyed it. The only item that was slightly negative is the seating. They don’t have benches, which is understandable. And sitting on the plank with no back rest, hurt a bit by the time the trip was done - so carry a small cushion to sit on for better experience.

    Sailing!

    Michelle_C, Jul 2025
    Wonderful we even saw a seal! Crew was great! Got to learn a little on how to sail! Would do it again!

    The crew was incredibly informative about the Schooner, Bahgeera and the history of the vessel. Equally well versed in area ships and local highlights. A great way to enjoy Casco Bay, morning, noon or sunset!

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Thank you for the kind words, Jennifer! We are so glad that you enjoyed the sail!

    Fun birthday sail on a hot day.

    Tina_B, Aug 2024
    I treated my friend her first ever sailboat tour for her birthday. She always wanted to see some lighthouses in the Portland ME. area. The crew was amazing & very knowledgeable. We were lucky to have only 6 passengers on the boat, so with that being said it was the best sailboat ride I had ever gone on in all my years of sailing. The Casco Bay was a great tour! I recommend this ride for sure!

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Tina, we are so happy to hear this! Thank you for leaving such kind words, and we are so glad you and your friend chose to sail with us to celebrate.

    Peaceful sailing
