You haven’t really been to Maine until you’ve set out on an authentic wooden lobster boat to catch crustaceans. On these 60- to 90-minute voyages, which depart three times daily Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day, you’ll cruise down the Kennebunk River and out to sea with a licensed lobsterman.

Schooner Eleanor Sailing Tours
43 Ocean Avenue, Kennebunkport, Maine, 207-967-8809
How often do you have the chance to sail aboard a traditional gaff rigged schooner with the captain who lovingly built the beautiful vessel with a team of local craftsmen? Captain Rich Woodman launched the Eleanor in May of 1999, and he’s been treating tourists to the wind-driven thrill of sailing Kennebunkport’s coast ever since. On two-hour tours late May through early October, you can stretch out on cushioned cabin-top seating and enjoy the carefree, throwback experience of yachting 1930s-style. Or, help the crew set the sails, as you hit the open Atlantic. Every trip is different: Sea breezes determine your course.
