Bagheera Sail Maine

We spent the most glorious 2 hours sailing on the Bagheera around the outer harbor and islands. Lucked into a day of brisk winds, bright blue sky and puffy white clouds. Staff and captain were pleasant, humorous and informative. The companions on the sail included some locals and some from a cruise ship in town for the day. Everyone was smiling.

Questions about Sailing Maine

Question: I am interested in purchasing the Sailing Trip in Portland Main for my parents. Is it only for two people? Will they be able to customize the route?

Answer: The sail stays in the calm waters of Casco Bay, so you can expect to experience SMOOTH SAILING. The Ship does not sail in the open, unprotected ocean and seasickness is uncommon on the two-hour sails.
