Intrepid Travelers, Friends, & Relics,

We have always asked the guests aboard the Schooner J. & E. Riggin to be flexible. It is a dynamic environment, without a set itinerary. We venture wherever the wind and weather takes us along the pristine shores of Maine, away from the crowds, in the fresh breeze. As we prepare for a summer of fun and adventure, we ask for your continued flexibility as we adapt to the guidelines set forth for us by the CDC, the state of Maine, and the U.S. Coast Guard.

We want to share with all of you how we intend to keep our vessel a safe, and clean environment for you to relax, and enjoy the familiar comfort of sailing aboard the Riggin.

Pre-Screening:

• Guests must furnish proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test within 72 hours of boarding the vessel. 

• Guests may be subject to a rapid antigen test at the time of boarding. 

Masks:

• Masks will not be required on board; with more than 98% of our guests vaccinated, the ventilation available in our common spaces we are not in a category where the CDC recommends the need for masks.

• We would advise all guest to bring their masks with them as many shops in the places we visit are still requiring masks at this time. 

All of these policies are in adherence with current guidelines set forth for us by the CDC, the state of Maine, and the U.S. Coast Guard and are subject to change. Check back frequently to keep up with these changes, and please call us with any questions or concerns.
