About Us

 Set sail aboard the Pineapple Ketch, a lovingly restored 38’ Downeaster Ketch. With distinctive tanbark sails and a shiny black hull, the Pineapple paints a familiar sight on the Kennebunkport horizon — many refer to it as the Port’s “Pirate Ship.”

The Pineapple offers several options to get you out exploring Southern Maine’s beautiful, rocky coast. For a scenic cruise, choose a morning sail when the skies are clear and the seas are calm. If you prefer a more active sail, we recommend an afternoon trip when the winds are up. Romantics can head out for a sunset sail in the salty air with a favorite bottle of wine or craft beer.

No matter which option fits your tastes, a sail aboard the Pineapple Ketch is sure to be a Kennebunkport highlight.

Summer Sailing at its Best!

"I love the smallness of the Pineapple Ketch because the fewer number of sailors makes for a more intimate sailing experience. Sailing off the coast of Kennebunkport is always a treat because you get to see many of the large "Summer Cottages" as well as the President Bush compound from the water!"

Relaxing Trip!

"Enjoyed a cruise on the Pineapple Ketch on my birthday. It was the perfect way to spend a relaxing two hours. The captain and crew were very friendly and helpful. We saw the coastline from a whole new point of view. It was beautiful."

Extremely Enjoyable!

"We had such a nice time on the after-lunch 2-hour cruise piloted by Captain Dan and Crew-woman Isabelle. This was our first time on a sailboat, and they made it so easy for us. Perfect weather, about a dozen total passengers, ice-cold soda to enjoy with our brought-aboard snacks...We will definitely take this cruise again."
