At Sail Portland Maine, we love love and are always so excited when guests celebrate those special moments on board. Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal for your beloved on the open seas, or you are a couple looking to elope with a few close friends and family (and our ordained captain), we will make it a night to remember! Our captain can help you accommodate whatever you need in terms of decor, photography, or other details that will make the day special. Don’t forget a bottle of bubbly to pop for a champagne toast!

Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties

If you’re based in New England, don’t sleep on Portland, Maine for your pre-wedding festivities. In addition to Portland’s incredible food, tons of local bars and endless adventures up and down the coast, hosting a bachelor or bachelorette party aboard our sailing vessel is a cool, unique way to celebrate upcoming nuptials! Bring your own booze, snacks or takeout, and your phone for the most Instagrammable view of the city’s skyline you’ll find.

Anniversaries

Does anything say “I love you” more than a romantic chartered sail through the Casco Bay? Our private charter sails are here to make your anniversary dreams a reality! Your imagination is the limit – sail to one of the Casco Bay islands for dinner, or simply cozy up to your loved one and enjoy the sunset with a crisp glass of wine. Let Sail Portland Maine make this an anniversary you won’t soon forget!

Birthdays
