Flexible options for you to pick how long, how far you want to sail.

Payment is usually by check or cash at the boat. Prices shown are cash/check discount price.
We can accept credit cards at the boat with processing fee.
Catering, with extra cost, is available.
Lobsterbake sail includes cheese platter, salads, pie, corn and one or two lobsters each cooked on the beach.
CoVid 19...our prices are up to account for the extra cleaning fees and the risks myself and my children take in operating the boat and exposing ourselves to you, albeit with best precautions and practices possible. All passengers are required to wear a face mask and have forehead temperature taken before boarding. Once underway, with abundant fresh air, and distance masks may be removed. I'm highly aware of wind direction, and may keep wearing a mask if I am unable to distance safely from you, or at your request.
This will be my tenth year offering outstanding unique experiences for my guests.
