Bufflehead Sailing Charters

This channel is a media companion to sailrockland.com, for Bufflehead Sailing Charters.  Captained by Daniel Bennett, the wooden 32' gaff sloop - "Bufflehead" - sails Maine's midcoast out of Rockland Maine into Penobscot Bay from May to October.  

Designed and built by the famed Bud Macintosh, he literally wrote the book on building wooden boats, Bufflehead, ​with her club foot jib, and high peaked mainsail,  is as easy a boat to sail as could be asked, predictable and sweet, she turns heads and steals hearts where ever she goes. 

Captain Daniel Bennett began sailing, building boats and juggling at 11 years old.  At 16, he set to a life at sea, sailing square riggers and  schooners in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, eventually spending six years sailing singlehanded between Maine, the Caribbean and Ireland in a small engineless boat. He now takes charter groups of up to six all around the area's scenic coast, inlets and islands. Visit sailrockland.com for details and charters.
