History

Established in 2012.

I have 25 years experience sailing in many parts of the world and building and repairing wooden boats. I rebuilt my boat, Bufflehead, in 2008, started operating daysail charters in 2011 and now am able to share my love of the sea, Penobscot Bay, and sailing, as well as give people an opportunity to see Maine the way it is meant to be, from the water. This third season has been fantastic, I’ve taken out many folks, including so far 151 first time sailors. I run sailing trips May through October, customized to your interests and tailored to make the most of the day and time we have together. Our motto, «Do what you want. «

Captain, owner, shipwright, rigger, and office staff, I have sailed 100,000 nautical miles under sail on vessels large and small, including single-​handed trans-​Atlantic journeys and experiencing a Typhoon at sea while working on a Tall Ship in the Pacific. I live in Rockland and have worked along the waterfront in various capacities, I’m familiar with the history of the area and the vessels and happenings here. I’ve taught sailing and am so glad to be able to share the unique vessel and experience that I have here. I try to make use of the flexibility I have running my own boat to make your dreams come true.
