Because we're a Big Deal

Watch our guests tell their own stories about why sailing with us was a great choice for their Maine vacation.

Our ship is the largest passenger sailing vessel of the United States. That's a "big deal." We only carry forty guests. We offer a boutique, uncrowded experience.

Also our trips are all-inclusive, so they're a "Big Deal."

One Great Decision

Matt & MaryHelen

"Victory Chimes and its crew gave us one of the best holiday adventures in our recent memory, you make one decision and everything is covered for your trip, which was incredibly valuable to us, and made it an amazing value: all of our transportation, lodging, meals, and entertainment were covered in one price."

"We have to do this!"

Charles

Coming home from the Gulf War, Charles found out how nice Maine people can be. It was then he said to his fiance - "we have to go to Maine." Years later, finally on vacation in Maine, he hears the guests on VICTORY CHIMES having a great time and says - "we have to do this!"

Finally

Joel

Joel knew for years about taking a schooner trip. He even had a place here! Still - never went sailing with us.

Then, he read up on our small boat “fleet.” We carry a collection of classic, wooden small boats with us. You can row. You can sail. You can go along for a ride.

After such a long wait, and such anticipation for small boat fun, did he like it?

A Novel Vacation Idea

Kayla

Kayla's Dad had a great idea for a fun vacation; sailing the coast of Maine aboard VICTORY CHIMES. For Kayla, it's the perfect setting for her to work on her novel - about pirates.

From Italy with Love

Shaun

Why would you come all they way from Italy to sail on VICTORY CHIMES? Besides whatever the Why is, what about the food? You’re coming from Foodie Heaven, how do we measure up against THAT?

It's Definitely Worth It

Annie & Travis

You're into sailing, your wife is not. You book a trip on the 'Chimes. Will she hate it?

Where There's a Will

Will

If only we all had grandmothers this cool. Will's grandmother booked a trip on the 'Chimes for Will. How'd it go for a digital thirteen year old to go analog on a sailing ship?

Blow your mind, feed your soul

Laura

“I have friends… I see their souls seeking something. This ship is what they’re seeking. This experience is something that would feed their soul.”
