Sail to the rock

Penobscot Bay and beyond is full of hundreds of climbable islands - some of which havenโ€™t been touched. Together with a certified climbing guide from Equinox Climbing, we are able to provide two climbing offerings aboard Hesper in 2024.

The first is a half-day climb add on. This is for all levels of climbers. Even first timers! Noah will join us at an island in Penobscot bay for a couple hours of cragging and hiking. Itโ€™s generally a chill and relaxed affair, with half the adventure being sailing to the designated island!

The second option is new to 2024 and is a dedicated climbing expedition. This 4 day custom expedition is dedicated to sailing to new spots throughout Penobscot Bay and Downeast in search of great climbs with our guide. Itโ€™s basically our Windjammer Expedition, except each stop every day is a new climbing site. Make no doubt about it- these climbs are not public and populated spots. They are places only accessible by sailboat.
