MARITIME RALLY July 16, 2025 If you are looking for an exciting adventure, come along with other Salty Dawgs on the Maritime Rally. Groups will start either from Southern New England (Cape Cod area) or from Northern New England (Rockland Maine). After a passage across the Gulf of Maine, all participants clear customs and congregate in Shelburne, NS. Then the rally continues along the attractive sea-bound Nova Scotia coast, all the way up to beautiful Cape Breton Island and the Bras d’Or Lake. Following the concluding activities in Baddeck, explore all of Cape Breton independently or with others. Cape Breton offers a distinctive blend of Celtic, French Acadian, and English culture. And remember, in Nova Scotia you have no lobster pots to contend with in the summer! The Maritime Rally and Flotilla are considered "stepping stone" events, appropriate both for those just beginning their offshore sailing experiences or for those experienced Captains wanting to make the passage to Nova Scotia and visit Cape Breton. As such, the requirements are simplified when compared to our longer offshore rallies to the Caribbean. In addition, this is a nice extension for boats participating in the Downeast Rally.
