Mainely Gourmet—June/July 2006
"Passengers, clasping mugs of coffee, softly chat on deck and gaze out at the still waters, a long breakwater silhouetted against the tangerine sky, and the hazy shapes of islands in the distance."

Seasonal Galley, By Letitia Baldwin, Globe Correspondent—September 4, 2005
"Rockland, Maine—Wood smoke. That comforting smell, which permeates clothes and conjures up foggy Maine days spent close to a fireplace or woodstove, fills the air. Grayish blue smoke is drifting out the Charlie Noble, an old British Merchant Navy term for the galley smokestack, on J & E Riggin in Rockland Harbor."

June 2005
"Old world eating that feels quite modern: Chef Anne Mahle serves up stews, breads and roasts from her wood-burning stove aboard the J & E Riggin." Watch Annie cooking alongside Al Roker of the Today Show.

Schooner Fare, By Kristin Anderson
"The brilliant sun dances on the water and crisp ocean air fills the sails of the windjammer J & E Riggin as the bustle of Bass Harbor—last night's port of call—fades into the distance. On deck, the guests chat and relax. Some knit, others crochet, and one man teaches himself to tie knots. A few sailors consult with the captain, and several people are stretched out like cats, sleeping and soaking up the warm sunshine."

A two-part news piece on Captains Jon and Annie in their fifth year of business. Talks about the food, family friendly environment, being eco-friendly and sailing on the beautiful coast of Maine.
