There's no more beautiful way to enjoy beautiful weather on Penobscot Bay than aboard a sailing schooner, but we didn't want to venture down to touristy Camden, so we looked for an option along Belfast's Harbor Walk, and were fortunate enough to stumble upon The Charm.
Lucky Us! This gorgeous 68-foot schooner JUST opened for sailing tours after four years of preparation, and we were among the first to book. Once this gets listed on all the review sites, I predict seats will become much harder to come by.
The captain and first mate are veteran sailors who could not be more friendly or knowledgeable (the mate is an experienced ship's mechanic who works at the Belfast shipyard). Refreshments are provided, and the sale into Penobscot Bay is beautiful and peaceful, made all the more spectacular by this stunning schooner and friendly crew. Non-alchoholic refreshments are provided, or you are welcome to bring your own.
Highly recommended. read more
