opportunities abound along Maine's 5,500+ mile coastline. Board
a sightseeing boat and take in the coast's rugged beauty and bountiful
aquatic life, charter a sailboat or motor yacht and explore Maine's
charming harbors and secluded coves, or tour the state's outlying
islands on one of the local mail boats or ferries. Whale, seal,
and puffin watching tours are quite popular among Maine's visitors
and make great fun for the entire family.
For
those with a more adventurous spirit, try a Windjammer sailing
trip or sea kayaking tour. These adventures are available for
half and full day trips to extended overnight tours! Over 3,000
islands dot the rugged coastline, giving sailors ample opportunities
for exploring Maine's breathtaking seascapes.

sunset cruise or wildlife sightseeing tour. Power boats are allowed
on the larger lakes, for those seeking speed, and provide the
horsepower for waterskiing, fishing, and scenic cruising. Trailer
your own boat or check out one of the area's marinas or many rental
facilities.
