Anna Miller’s meals at sea include fresh crudités, duck pastrami, homemade Reubens—and a turducken
Schooners have been the lifeblood of coastal Maine for more than a century — and sailing aboard one of these wooden boats is the best way to experience the beauty of these seaside communities.
"We stumbled upon the Schooner Ladona and fell in love with the ship, the history of the boat (it served as a submarine patrol in WWII), its aesthetic with natural wood and all white accents, and the layout with ample seating and standing for 45 people. We actually booked the wedding sight-unseen—we had never been to Rockland or seen the boat. We later made visits to check out the town and the boat and coordinate arrangements and realized just how awesome a 'venue' and area we had chosen."
“There’s little to do and a lot to enjoy on this three-night excursion. Lobstermen hauling traps, seabirds winging, by, seals basking on ledges, lighthouses winking, and ferries to-ing and fro-ing vie for attention along with inviting islands and remote fishing villages.”
In our newest themed trip, explore the art of bar craft, taking fresh, handmade ingredients and creating an experience worth imbibing.
In anticipation of our upcoming, new cookbook, give one of the recipes by our galley chef Anna Miller a try in your own kitchen — blueberry buckle.

“With only sixteen passengers on the Ladona you will have the opportunity to meet like-minded travelers and perhaps form friendships that will last long after you have disembarked. The kinship you feel with everyone on board in just the short span of a few days is remarkable.”
“…the masterfully restored 82-foot racing schooner Ladona quickly earned a rep for its upscale amenities: hot and cold running water in every cabin, beds topped with premium linens, rain showers, chef-prepared meals, and complimentary wine served with dinner.”
“Expect admiring looks as you [sail] into ports like Castine and Boothbay Harbor aboard the Ladona — kind of like tooling around Boston in a vintage Porsche.”
