It's hard to beat a sail on Penobscot Bay, and even harder to beat a sail that includes a stop on Warren Island for a traditional Maine Lobster Bake! The Olad has two public lobster bake sails scheduled this summer, the first on Wednesday, July 26th, and the next on Thursday, August 10th. Join us for a scenic afternoon sail across the bay to Warren Island State Park where our crew will prepare a traditional Maine lobster bake over an open fire with all the fixings! Then, bellies full of lobster, enjoy a relaxing sunset cruise back into Camden Harbor while taking in the views of the sun setting behind the mountains of the Camden Hills State Park. 

We also offer private lobster bakes on the Schooner Olad or Cutter Owl throughout July and August if you're planning a family gathering, company outing, or just looking for a unique experience with a group of close friends! 

The days are getting longer, the sun is warmer, and the Olad crew is busy at work preparing the boats for the 2023 sailing season! It's hard to believe our launch date is just a few weeks away, and we'll be sailing again by mid-May.

It seems like everybody's calendars begin to fill up in the spring as summer plans are being formulated. We're looking at a busy calendar ourselves, with many special event sails including the Great Schooner Race, two public lobster bakes, and special Full moon sails all summer long. The Olad and Owl are the perfect setting for your summer adventures at sea, offering family lobster bakes on Warren Island, intimate weddings onboard, and relaxing sunset cruises overlooking the Camden Hills, and that's just the start! We work closely with our guests to make each trip as memorable as it can be.

Spots are filling up for the 2023 season, so if you are planning a family event, business outing, or are interested in one of our many special event sails you'll want to start booking early!

Looking for a special gift for your loved ones this Holiday season? Why not gift them an experience they won’t forget! A Gift Certificate for a sail aboard the Schooner Olad or Cutter Owl is a great gift for the adventurer in your life, and they’ll have something to look forward to all winter long!

We have customizable sails aboard each vessel, choose either the 57-foot-long Schooner Olad for a traditional Maine Schooner sailing experience, or our 6-passenger sailing vessel Owl for a more private, adventurous sail on the bay. With a full calendar of special sails throughout the season, there are so many ways to get out on the bay! Join us for our Summer Solstice sail where you’ll watch the sun rise over the bay on the longest day of the year, or one of our Full Moon sails with fabulous views of this summer’s full moons. We also have two public lobster bakes scheduled this summer that you won’t want to miss out on! 

Gift Certificates are typically mailed out the next business day, so you still have time to get your order in! Give us a call at 207-236-2323 or visit our Gifts & Souvenirs Page on our website to order yours.

As our sailing season comes to a close we have time to take a deep breath, celebrate our hard work, and appreciate the amazing community we are part of! We loved hosting your family gatherings, lobster bakes, and weddings, thank you all for making this season one to remember!

We enjoyed a picture perfect October day with friends and family for our traditional last sail of the season. Now we are transitioning to our in-depth maintenance on the boats. With the distinct smell of pine tar in the air, and lots of sanding and varnish in our future, we are also booking for our 2023 sailing season. We are busy building our special events calendar and planning your family gatherings. One thing we have learned over the last few seasons is that booking early is best, so don’t hesitate to call us as you plan your trip to the Maine coast. In the meantime, stay warm and we look forward to sailing with you in May 2023!
