*4 person max for sails.
Intimate, personalized downeast experiences.*
Polaris Jack is a serious sailing vessel, and all guests must be physically able to climb a ladder and maneuver themselves both onto and off of--and while aboard--the boat. Don't hesitate to contact the captain with any questions/concerns!
The Old-School
Maine Sailing Experience:
$450 ~3 hours
A private, relaxing wilderness adventure... With our typical summer SW winds, we'll exit the harbor and sail along the uninhabited islands of a nearby deepwater archipelago, cruise close to historic Nash Island Lighthouse, and view the resident flock of sheep. Wildlife abounds: seals, eagles, and porpoises --and the occasional sighting of a puffin or whale.
The Classic
Downeast Acadia
Sunset Cruise: $500
*Typically 3 hrs. Shorter options available.
Kick back under a blanket and watch the waters go orange as the sun sinks behind the mountains of Acadia National Park. The world goes quiet; eagles return to their nests, the occasional puffin darts past, seals lounge atop ledges, and gulls flock to the outer islands. We'll sail around several islands before watching the sun set from open waters. Then we'll sail home in the last light. Watching the full moon rise while the sun sets is magical.
Real-deal Working Harbor
Jaunt: 1.5 hr $300
Enjoy a cocktail or just a jaunt around the harbor. Sunset Harbor Cruises are an additional $50.
Step aboard and get uncrowded, if only for a brief trip. We'll navigate through the local lobster fleet, enjoy a beverage and snack, and keep an eye out for the seals, eagles, and porpoises that frequent the harbor. Learn about the lobster fishing industry, the local culture, and purchase some lobsters straight from the waters. This is perfect for those concerned with seasickness.
Downeast Archipelago Escape:
5 hrs $800
Full Day $1100
Both the full and half day sail offer relaxing journeys to an archipelago of wild, unspoiled islands that few ever get to see.
The choice is yours: Whether you want to sail to some hard-to-reach islands, or simply find a beautiful spot to drop the anchor and eat lunch, lounge around on the boat, and experience life on board more thoroughly, the half or full day is it.
