I'm Captain Daniel Bennett owner & operator. My daughter, Raya, has crewed aboard for 7 of her 10 years. My wife, Amanda, helps with shoreside logistics and support as well as our early crew training program for our son, Silas, who at 3 1/2 is just starting to come out as effective crew.
Together, we run a tight ship and its business, a bit of a homestead and a happy family. Amanda also works in the food and wine industries, as well as making jewelry, awesome food and great communications happen. We appreciate your patronage by sailing with us and your online support by sharing your enjoyment. Thank You and Welcome!

Flexible, custom sailing toursChoose your own Adventure |

Book a sail on Bufflehead because flexible scheduling allows us to offer a quick highlight to your trip, or a full day of sights, memories and meals. It also makes planning your vacation easier. We sail when you want, for how long you want, even our motto is "Do What You Want." You're welcome to bring anything you like, or we can cater you.
My mission is to see that, in the time and tides we share aboard, I'll find you the best of what the day offers and suits you most.
Our family offers Maine sailing charters of the beautiful coast aboard a classic wooden boat; custom daysail charters for up to six people on a safe and nimble 32' gaff sloop. Sunset sails, lobsterbakes, island picnics and night sails are also options. You can bring whatever food or drinks you like, or we can cater local delights to complete your Maine experience, and let us support or spoil you as we're known for doing. Special events are our specialty, as well as making the ordinary extraordinary.

Kid Friendly Adventure |
|
Our policy is that, for kids 18 & under, you only pay your child's age per hour for your charter! How often can traveling with kids save you money?
Vacation planning with children can be difficult, we make it easier.
The constantly changing scenery and variety of sights, and the workings of a sailboat and the grand schooners and working boats around us are endlessly engaging for the antsy and curious. A Magical Family Sail |
We are fully equipped to safely ensure an enjoyable day of fun.
