Romantic Getaways in Maine
Go sailing on a traditional schooner
Want to take an awesome trip together that is something unique and different? Why not go sailing on a classic schooner?
We had this experience sailing on the J & E Riggin and it was amazing. You spend several days exploring the beautiful Maine coast near Rockland, helping with the sails, enjoying gourmet food, and generally just relaxing. It’s a wonderful trip.
Now, it’s definitely not your standard romantic trip. Sleeping below decks is more ‘cozy’ than romantic, and you’ll be sailing with a dozen or so other guests, so this type of trip won’t allow for much alone time.
But I can promise that you will spend quality time together and have a terrific adventure that bonds you in a new way. Read all about what it’s like to sail on a Maine Windjammer here.
Book a Classic Coastal Maine B&B
Perhaps a classic bed & breakfast is more your style? There are plenty of romantic Maine getaways that offer this.
One of our favorite hotels to recommend is the York Harbor Inn, which is right on the southern coast of Maine and is absolutely beautiful.
This is a quiet area where you can get away from it all and enjoy nature. We especially suggest renting the tower room, which offers a private balcony overlooking the water. The views are gorgeous and the inn has terrific food.
Combine that with exploring the great area of York, Maine, and you’ve got the makings of an ideal trip.

Sit out by your private campfire before retiring to a beautifully decorated private spot under the stars.
You might think of camping as a rustic experience, but glamping turns it up a notch! Plus, you’re close to all of Kennebunkport’s activities including chilled-out beaches and incredible restaurants.
