Plenty of resorts have private cars you can take for a spin, but private boats? That’s a much rarer amenity. And whether you’re ogling the seal colony on East Bunker Ledge or sailing by Bear Island Lighthouse, the private two-hour cruises for you and up to 20 of your closest friends offer a vantage point of Mount Desert Island you won’t find elsewhere.
Hopping aboard one of Sail Acadia’s traditional Friendship sloops, the sailboats originally used for lobstering, is like hopping back in time. Don’t own a yacht, but want to pretend that you do? Find your sea legs aboard one of these four vessels.
