Maine Yacht Charters

There are more than 4,600 islands in the state of Maine, nearly all of which are uninhabited, pristine, and worthy of an afternoon picnic or hike. Plus, with numerous inlets and fjords to explore via kayak, fresh-caught lobster and clams in every port of call, 65 lighthouses and lively villages along the way, Maine yacht charters provide a packed itinerary of memorable excursions.

• What to Expect: July and August boast the warmest weather, with temperatures jumping into the mid-70s. In June and September, the weather is a bit milder, with temperatures in the mid-60s. Throughout summer, Maine experiences ideal weather, with occasional afternoon rainstorms.
• Water Conditions: During summer, the waters in Maine are calm. Waves tend to be 2- to 5-feet, allowing for easy cruising.

Exploring Maine: A Week-Long Yacht Charter Itinerary

During a week-long yacht charter in Maine, see all of the coastal must-see attractions – from historic Portland and Bar Harbor to Acadia National Park and Bath Harbor.

Where will your boat charter take you? Here’s a sample itinerary, touching the most picturesque, unique, and relaxing destinations.

Day 1 – Portland

Portland, ME is a hub for luxury yacht charters in the region. With an international airport located just minutes from the marinas, you can be off the plane and on board in minutes. The historic city offers plenty of shoreside excursions, arts, and culture, yet by sea, there’s plenty to discover. Nearby islands like Harpswell, Orrs, and Bailey are a short ride, and provide a haven for beach walks, kayaking, and fresh seafood (Cook’s Lobster & Ale House is a Bailey Island mainstay.)

Day 2 – Boothbay Harbor

Day 3 – Mohegan Islands

Maine’s coast has thousands of islands. Yet, Mohegan is a must-visit, known for its exquisite beauty and friendly locals. Spend the day exploring the island – a network of trails traverses the island and provides stunning vistas along the way. Plus, you’ll find artisan shops, unpretentious chowder houses, and the occasional festival in the tiny village.

Day 4 – Camden

Day 5 – Butter Island

You’ll find Butter Island on Penobscot Bay, as well. Owned by the Cabot family (purveyors of butter and cheese, hence the name), Butter Island is home to the Monserrat Trail, a winding hiking trail, known for its wild blackberries and stunning views. Another destination nearby, Holbrook Island Sanctuary offers a similar natural reprieve: Gorgeous hiking trails, salty ocean breezes, and out-of-this-world vistas.

Day 6 – Sommes Sound

Day 7 – Bar Harbor
