Your contribution keeps SailMaine afloat
SailMaine is a community sailing center dedicated to providing affordable access to the water through sailing and educational programming. We rely on the generosity of our supporters to ensure we can get everyone, especially youth and underserved communities, out on the water. Many of our programs are free, and fees for those that aren’t are reduced by 40% due to donations and other funding sources.
Together, a strong community of staff, volunteers, and friends keeps our boats afloat on Casco Bay. SailMaine provides a variety of opportunities for the public to support our work. Make a monetary donation by clicking the button above, or use one of the following options:
