There’s no better way to really soak up summer than to rent a boat and hit the high seas—or a smaller body of water if you’re a sailing newbie. Sailing vacations are a fantastic way to indulge in a little luxury and visit exotic destinations without spending a fortune. As Sir Francis Drake said: “It is not that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.” We’re betting if you take advantage of one of these sailing adventures you’ll second that emotion!

1. The Maine Windjammer Association
The Maine Windjammer Association does all of the work for you so you can just sit back and enjoy one of their three, four or six-day cruises. Prices start at $250 per person and include all meals, scrumptious New England seafood freshly cooked on-board. You can join the crew on deck to learn all about sailing or just kick back and enjoy the gorgeous view of Maine’s coastline.
