LADONA was built in 1922 for ocean racing and performed well in that role for nearly a decade. She was first converted for passenger-carrying in the 1970's, under the name of NATHANIEL BOWDITCH. In 2016, after the latest and most extensive of her several reconstructions, she was returned to Maine's windjammer fleet.

Our Story
With a capacity for just 17 guests, we provide an all-inclusive, intimate, and personally curated vacation featuring comfort at sea, diverting activities aboard and ashore, and thoughtfully prepared dining experiences.
A day aboard the Ladona begins with breakfast to order when you rise. Daylight hours are spent sailing among untouched islands and exploring ashore, evenings are filled will easy camaraderie and exquisite dinners, and quiet nights are free from the sound of traffic.
As sailing is subject to the wind and tide, we have no itinerary and plans can change hourly. The captain will make choices based on the given conditions.
However, there are no unpleasant options. Just classic New England fishing villages, scenic thoroughfares, wide breezy bays, and perfect sunsets.
With over 2,200 islands in our sailing grounds, each day is designed for maximum enjoyment.
This is why we are in Maine.
