Downeast Maine: Expedition for Experienced Sea Kayakers

Discover why Downeast Maine is one of the best-kept secrets in sea kayaking. From quiet coves to working harbors, every paddle here tells a story of the coast — its people, its wildlife, and its wild beauty.

Downeast Maine offers some of the most remote and rewarding paddling on the East Coast. This rugged coastline has it all — cliffs, hidden coves, sand beaches, rocky ledges, lighthouses, abundant wildlife, and plenty of lobster boats.

Launching from Jonesport, a traditional fishing community, we’ll navigate a wild and unpredictable coast where wind, tide, current, and fog shape each day’s route.

Designed for experienced sea kayakers, this trip calls for skill, adaptability, and a spirit of adventure — an authentic immersion into the rhythms of the ocean and the heart of Downeast Maine.

We’ll take care of the details — you bring your skills and sense…
