Join me on this 4-day photography, sailing adventure amongst one of the areas finest sailing schooners, Mary Day. With no engine aboard, we go where the wind will take us. On this schooner cruise photo tour, the lighthouses are a means to a destination, but there is so much more. Long summer days bring plenty of photography opportunities on the boat and off.
- Seabirds & marine wildlife
- Sunsets & sunrises (if you can get up early enough, 4:30am)
- Spruce covered islands & rocky shorelines
- Beautiful scenery with views of the Camden Hills and Acadia National Park
My tours are always based on an experience – this photography sailing adventure is both land and sea.
- How about a hike on an uninhabited island, a nature preserve, or a lobster picnic on a deserted beach?
- Visit a remote fishing village, or historic coastal town.
- Onboard possibilities include; relaxing to the rhythm of the wind

I scouted outed this tour in 2021 and didn’t get my listing out early enough to run it in 2022 because Mary Day fills her bunks early in the previous season. Mary Day has begun accepting reservation for the 2023 season. Let’s go sailing!
