• There are two pickup locations, the Saco Pier is the default pickup location. The alternative Biddeford pickup location, which there is an additional fee, saves about 20 minutes each way if coming from the Kennebunk, Kennebunkport or Biddeford. The address and directions are provided in your Confirmation and Reminder emails.
• If you are coming to the Saco Pier by car, there is plenty of parking, Come to 5 Bay Avenue, Saco Maine. The GPS in this area is a bit finicky, when getting close to the destination, Bay View Avenue makes a ninety degree turn to the left, just after the turn, make a right into the large parking lot. There is an island to the left as you enter the parking lot, if the pay station is installed in this island (in season), stop and get a ticket and put it on the dash of your vehicle. Park on the furthest end of the lot closest to the water. To save the parking fee, there is parking on the street, however there is a 2 hour time limit.
• The alternative Biddeford address for sailing is 579 Pool Street, Biddeford and for lobstering and fishing is 16 Marblehead Lane Biddeford. Directions to these locations will be provided in your Confirmation and Reminder emails.

• Please be on the dock 10 minutes before departure time.
• For the Saco Pier location, there are 2 small buildings at the end of the parking lot. The building near the center of the parking lot has two bathrooms, one on either end of the building. On the left is the Dock Master’s building, we will meet you there.
• For the Biddeford location, the driveway is just across the street from Sea Star Market. The mailbox by the driveway has the 579 number on both sides of the white mailbox. Pull down the driveway, which is wide at the top and slopes down. Park at the base of the driveway. You can walk down into the backyard on the right side of the house. We’ll be looking for you. So, you know we have a clean restroom onboard.

• Dress in layers – windbreakers or a warmer layer is usually needed on the water, it can be pleasantly cool. After sunset, it can cool quickly, especially early and late in the season. We have lap blankets. Conditions at sea are normally similar to the beach except a bit cooler & windier.
• Sunscreen – sunhat, sunglasses & whatever other sun protection you require is always good.
• Shoes – Soft-soled shoes are best for comfort and ease of walking around on the boat.
• Raincoat – can be useful, though most of the time we will work to avoid rain, and if need be, it is dry under the dodger & in the cabin.

Yes for sure! Children under the age of 18 need to be accompanied by an adult. Children under the age of 12 need to wear lifejackets while aboard, which we can normally provide. Please let us know how many children are in your party and their estimated weights when booking in the note section or contact us separately.

Gratuity is not included in the price and is optional, similar to tipping in restaurants or spas. You can tip via credit card, VENMO, or cash. The crew appreciates any gratuity you choose to provide.
