If deep-sea angling is your thing, book a charter. The offshore waters offer plenty of
excitement as you seek out a perfect spot for striped bass, bluefish, mackerel, or
haddock. Many outfits even offer family trips—making it easy for kids to gear up while
catching sight of seals sunning on ledges and porpoise diving among the waves.
Sea kayaking is a great way to poke along the coast. Check out the Maine Island
Trail, which connects an endless number of barrier islands. Make a day trip of it and
relax in a cooling breeze on a hot summer day. Those into kite-surfing should try out
Ferry Beach, while only slightly tamer riders can head to Old Orchard Beach for
jet skiing and parasailing. Stand-up paddleboarding is easy to learn and offers a
great workout with a unique view of sea life. As for boating, our cruising grounds are
world-renowned, favored by luxury yachts, vintage sloops, and one-design racers
flitting along in packs. Experienced sailors can charter a boat of their own or novices
can hire a captain and just enjoy the views.
Whether sea kayaking in our coastal estuaries, stand-up paddleboarding with dawn’s
first light, or charting your course for relaxation aboard a sailboat—you’ll find more to
do on the water than you ever knew in The Maine Beaches.
