Finally

Joel

Joel knew for years about taking a schooner trip. He even had a place here! Still - never went sailing with us.

 

Then, he read up on our small boats. You can row. You can sail.  You can go along for a ride.

 

After such a long wait, and such anticipation for small boat fun, did he like it?

Where There's a Will

Will

If only we all had grandmothers this cool. Will's grandmother booked a trip on the 'Chimes for Will. How'd it go for a digital thirteen year old to go analog on a sailing ship?

"Trip of a Lifetime."

John W. 

For a travel group of entrepreneurs, the standards are high and the pressure is on. It's not just your trip, it's a whole group you've got to satisfy. They don't have a lot of time to spare. You better get it right.. Did John make the right choice?

"Can't wait to come back"

Douglas 

Douglas is used to sailing in California. His travel group decides to come to Maine. With all the hype California gets, how is Maine going to measure up?

Blow your mind, feed your soul

Laura

“I have friends… I see their souls seeking something. This ship is what they’re seeking. This experience is something that would feed their soul.”

"I wanted to reset"

Calvin

The world of high finance was adding to Calvin’s bottom line, but chipping away at his soul. 

​

He needed to "reset." He chose Maine, he chose Grace Bailey.

"I really want to do do this!"

Julian

What if you've never sailed before? You've never even been on a boat. What are you going to think of sailing around the coast of Maine on an 1882 schooner?

Paige on Hurricane Island Maine.jpg

"I love the variety."

Paige

Paige had never been to Maine. Never been on a sailboat. She went from not knowing what it would be, to finding out it was all sorts of things.
