ABOUT MAINE LAND AND SEA ADVENTURES
Maine Land and Sea Adventures is the culmination of an independent Maine man, Rich Rivard, who after living and loving the natural beauty of Maine all his life, took a look at how he might be able to share his love of Maine with others. He sold his printing business after 25 years in the industry and decided to make use of his sailboat. He realized he could show the best the area has to offer, with stunning coastlines and an idyllic retreats, to those wishing the ultimate Maine vacation. He could also keep from having to get a real job.
Thus Maine Land and Sea Adventures evolved with the goal to offer a truly unique and memorable Maine experience.
