Welcome to NorthPoint Yacht Charters

NorthPoint Yacht Charters arranges sailing and power boat cruising charters in Maine, Northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes. We offer a wide variety of boats owned and managed by individual owners including both power and sailboats from 20-80 feet. Both bareboat and crewed charters as well as daysails are available. We also offer transportation, concierge services, bed and breakfasts, custom itineraries, provisioning, catering as well as special events.

We are proud of our boats and take the extra time to make sure that your cruise will be pleasurable and trouble free. This year we are partnering with local businesses to help you with all your chartering planning. Please check our Main Resources Listings. We always look forward to hearing from you about your experiences on our boats.

We encourage you to examine our available boats for the 2012 cruising season! Please read our How To Charter page to learn how to reserve a boat.
