About Pineapple Ketch
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 Kennebunkport’s “Pirate Ship.”
The Pineapple offers several options to get you out sailing 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 Maine sailing tour, 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 you choose, a sail aboard the Pineapple Ketch is sure to be a Kennebunkport highlight.

The Captains were very informative on sailing and all the sights to be seen from the boat. They had interesting tales to tell as well. Very enjoyable & relaxing sail, could've spent all day out at sea!! I highly recommend taking the trip!!

Justin and Captain Jim were fantastic guides, and gave us some history of the surrounding area, restaurant, recommendations, and houses that we saw on the cruise. We took the midday sailing cruise, and it was just beautiful to be on the Atlantic in good weather. I very much recommend this cruise.
