SMOOTH SAILING ON THE MARY DAY.

COMFORT IS KEY!


Dreaming of a tranquil escape aboard the magnificent Mary Day, gliding through the picturesque waters of Penobscot Bay? Rest assured, your comfort is our top priority!


Here's why you can look forward to a worry-free and enjoyable sailing experience:


  • Protected Waters. The Mary Day primarily explores the mid-coast region of Maine, from Owl's Head to Acadia National Park area of Southwest Harbor and Somes Sound. The bays in the area are sheltered havens dotted with islands. This natural protection ensures calmer waters than sailing in the Gulf of Maine, offering a smoother and more gentle journey than sailing offshore.


  • Graceful Sailing. As a traditional windjammer, the Mary Day tacks elegantly through the bays. This creates a gentle, rhythmic motion that most guests find soothing and enjoyable. The experience is all about feeling the wind, basking in the sun, and connecting with the beauty of the Maine coast.


  • Experienced Crew, Maximum Comfort. Our seasoned crew is dedicated to ensuring every guest feels relaxed and at ease. If conditions are ever less than ideal, we'll find a cozy cove to drop anchor, turning the day into a delightful opportunity for onboard activities like cribbage, a walk on shore, or simply enjoying the scenery.


Tips for an Optimal Experience


  • Embrace the Beauty. Spend your time on deck, breathing in the fresh air and taking in the breathtaking views.


  • Enjoy Delicious Fare. Our onboard meals are a highlight, made with fresh, local ingredients.


  • Relax and Unwind. Let the rhythm of the sea and the warmth of the sun melt away your worries.


  • Sea-Bands. For those who want a little extra peace of mind, consider wearing "Sea Bands". These acupressure wristbands are a simple, effective aid that gently applies pressure to specific points on your wrist, helping to settle any pre-voyage jitters and reassuring you as you embark on your adventure.


On Mary Day, we’ve created a setting where relaxation comes naturally. With calm waters, a smooth sailing style, and a crew dedicated to your well-being, you can confidently set sail and create memories that will last a lifetime.


We can't wait to welcome you aboard!
