On the HYC site, first sentence, they refer to the only fjord in the East.
There actually is a freshwater fjord in Gros Morne National Park,
Newfoundland...but it might be expensive to have your sailboat flown in. :-)

My personal experience is that fjords are not really a top attraction
for sailors. The winds in them usually end up right on your nose
and you spend a lot of time on short tacks. At least that was my
experience in trying to SAIL up to Princess Louisa Inlet in BC. IIRC, I
motored more than half the time. Of course, the extreme tidal currents
at the entrance make it necessary to time your arrival at Malibu
Rapids--which gives you little slack for coping with fluky winds.

Oh, and the fjords in BC are not much for anchorages--water depths are
often several hundred feet just a few hundred feet away from the
rock wall.

When I finally do get the chance to cruise in Maine, the fjord
will not be a great attraction. ;-) Scenery, anchorages, and
attractions ashore will be the reason for the trip.

Try Hinckley Yacht Charters:

While you aren't quite far enough to the NE, you will be on the doorstep
to
god's country. I have been throughout the Caribbean, almost all of the
Bahamas, and the entire east coast of the US from Key West to New England.
These are the finest cruising grounds on this side of the Atlantic, BAR
NONE!

PS: I have no affiliation with HYC, nor have I ever chartered with them,
but I
have cruised this coast many times, and plan to be back again soon. There
are
also other charter outfits in the area.
