Maine Sailing Adventures

Frances, our 74’ traditional British cutter, has enjoyed hosting guests onboard since 2006. Designed and built in the spirit of tradition, Frances is a replica of working pilot cutters that sailed the waters of France and Great Britain, Maine and New England between 1760 and 1820. She is perfect for group sizes up to thirty-eight, and stands alone in being truly ideal for all ages. We host day sails, evening sails, wine sails, and an acoustic sunset series. We are also available for private charter, sailing June through October.
