Sailboat Rentals in Acadia

sailing in Somes Sound near AcadiaThere is nothing quite like slipping silently through the waves with the wind across the face. The only thing you hear is the splashing waves on the sides of the hull, the flutter of the canvas sail stretched by the wind, and the seagulls over head.

The views from Somes Sound of the mountains of Mount Desert Island are spectacular. There are many other sights as well including the Bear Island Lighthouse, Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Islesford, Great Cranberry Island, and much more.
