Tyler Waterson of A Morning in Maine
For Tyler Waterson, owner and captain of A Morning in Maine, sailing isn’t just about navigating the waters—it’s about crafting an experience that connects people to the beauty and history of Midcoast Maine. Sailing out of Rockland Harbor, Tyler and his professional crew offer guests an unforgettable journey through Penobscot Bay, one of the most stunning sailing destinations in the world. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a first-timer, A Morning in Maine promises a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and natural beauty.
Built in 1970 as a private yacht, the ketch-style vessel has a storied history of community-focused ownership. Tyler took the helm in 2022, continuing the boat’s tradition of connecting people with the coast. With daily two-hour sails and special offerings like Sunday’s sailing and hiking trips to Monroe Island, Tyler has expanded the experience to include immersive adventures. “Penobscot Bay offers something for everyone,” Tyler explains. “From calm morning cruises to breezy afternoon sails, you’ll see lighthouses, seals, seabirds, and maybe even a porpoise or two.”
The boat also hosts unique events, such as science sails with local educators and live music sunset cruises featuring singer-songwriter Paddy Mills. For those looking to personalize their adventure, private charters are available, allowing groups to explore further into the bay or enjoy extended trips with options like island hikes and lobster roll lunches.
Tyler emphasizes that sailing with A Morning in Maine is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. “It will be fun,” he says. “Whatever the conditions, we’re going to take good care of you.”
