SAIL MOUNT DESERT ISLAND See Acadia National Park from the water
Private sailing aboard Swan for just your family and friends — from Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island
When you reserve Swan, you reserve the boat.
We don’t sell individual tickets. We don’t combine your party with people you’ve never met. Whether there are two of you or six, Swan is yours for the sail.
Bring your family. Bring your friends. Celebrate an anniversary. Take the kids sailing. Or just spend a few hours on the water with someone you enjoy being with.
It’s your boat. Your people. Your sail.
No fixed itinerary. We sail where the wind takes us.
Every sail aboard Swan is a little different. We leave Southwest Harbor and sail where the wind and conditions are best that day.
TAKE THE HELM
Want to steer? Steve is happy to put you behind the wheel and show you the ropes.
LEARN & PARTICIPATE
Help trim the sails, learn a little about sailing, or simply enjoy the ride.
RELAX & ENJOY
Sit back and take in Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park from the water.
Captain Steve Keblinsky
Sailing from Southwest Harbor since 1998.
Sailing has always been a family affair for me. That’s my dad Andrew, my mom Denise, my wife Julie and my sister Corinn aboard Swan with me.
My goal is simple: keep everyone safe, have a great sail, and make Swan feel like your boat for a few hours.
What our guests say
“Doing a sunset sailboat cruise with Captain Steve was the highlight of our girls’ trip to Maine. Steve was so fun, easy going, and knowledgeable about the area. Not only did he answer all of our questions, but he also gave us recommendations for things to do around the island. We would absolutely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Southwest Harbor!”

“It was a bit of a low-wind day but he managed to find some wind and let each of my kids have a go at the helm. We also practiced knot tying. He is a thoughtful and patient teacher! We had a lot of laughs and learned more about sailing too.”

“We have sailed with Steve every summer since 1999. I couldn’t make it last year, so we booked two trips this summer during our visit to Mount Desert Island.”
