SPECIAL OCCASION and PRIVATE CHARTERS

We’ll put the wonders of the Maine coast at your fingertips!  Our windjammer is ideal for passengers who’d like a private sailing experience with just friends and family.  Swift is also perfect for small weddings, reunions, family celebrations and other activities.  We look forward to helping you or your organization plan your special event.

“Thank you, thank you, for giving us the respite so desperately needed!! Your amazing & beautiful boat and perfectly crafted cruise shifted us entirely away from the habitual stressors of our lives… we delighted in the fresh sea breezes, and enjoyed the delicious and creative menu, which was unexpectedly luxurious.“  The Scott family, July 2025

SPECIAL OCCASIONS

A Maine sailing excursion on our beautiful Swift is also ideal to celebrate a special day, anniversary, family reunion, graduation, or surprise gathering.

Nonprofit groups use our boat for fundraising trips offering a unique private travel experience.

We can also provide an appropriate excursion for a funeral service or memorial gathering. 

OUR MAINE FARE

Food for your charter can feature traditional Maine fare including lobster, but we are glad to work with you to create a meal suitable for your occasion.

RATES

Day charters are offered on our turn-around days.  Most day trips are from noon to 4 p.m. with food options available.  Swift can carry up to 12 guests for these excursions. 

Overnight charters (weekend, 3 and 4 nights or longer) are priced for full-boat occupancy (6 passengers) with a 15% discount off our scheduled per-person fares.  Please refer to our regular schedule for dates and pricing.

TERMS

Charters (day and overnight) require one-third payment at the time of your confirmed reservation, and the balance due 42 days prior to sail date. 

Charter deposits are non-refundable, so we recommend trip insurance through a sailing insurance specialist such as Seven Corners.   https://www.sevencorners.com/
