What To Expect

Camden Harbor Park and Amphitheatre

Your sunset sailing cruise departs from Bayview Landing, at the heart of Camden Harbor. Mariners consider Camden Harbor one of the most beautiful harbors in New England, framed by the mountains greeting the sea. Feel the sense of adventure as the crew hoists the sails. Participate in this age-old tradition by joining in and help raise the sails. Take a turn at the wheel and feel the exhilaration of captaining a traditional wooden ship.

Schooner Appledore II Windjammer Cruise

The Appledore II was hand-built in 1978 at the Gamage Shipyard in Maine in the finest shipbuilding tradition. She proved her seaworthiness by circumnavigating the globe. She continues to sail a 2,000 mile ocean voyage twice a year between her summer home of Camden, Maine and winter home of tropical Key West, Florida.

Curtis Island Light

Your Downeast Maine boat tour takes you past Curtis Island Light, helping navigate seafarers since 1836, and into Penobscot Bay. As we sail along the rugged coastline, take in the majestic mountains, only one of two places along the Atlantic seaboard where the mountains drop off into the ocean. With the painted sky as your exquisite backdrop, gaze at the magnificent mansions, historic inns and elegant yachts. Watch for porpoises, eagles and ospreys. Along the jagged rocks, look for seals and shorebirds, including guillernots, cousins to puffins.

Mount Battie

Quench your thirst with cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks, all available for purchase during your sailing cruise. Gather close to your loved ones as the fiery sun sets over Mount Battie and toast the end of an amazing day. Against the darkened sky, the blink of the Curtis Island Light guides us back home to Camden Harbor.

A wonderful first time experience. Captain John and 2 crew mates, both named Sydney, unfurled the large sails, even enlisted my aid to help, as we moved out of Camden Harbor on calm waters. Waited on by aforementioned talented and beautiful mates, we had beverages and some hors d'oeuvres. Once out on Penobscot Bay, we were regaled with many a lengthy poem by "Pirate John", not the captain. Turning back toward the harbor, we caught a wonderful wind, a hold on to your hat kind of wind, and it felt like we were flying as we reentered Camden Harbor, just as the sun set behind Mount Battie. It was a two hour trip that, as we docked, felt not nearly long enough. The captain and crew actually stay on board 365 days a year, half spent in Maine, the other, a 10 day sailing to Key West.

We enjoyed a great evening taking the sunset cruise out of Camden. The crew were friendly and attentive and the experience did not let us down for one minute. The views on the water and looking back at the port and the mountains are spectacular! Do yourself a favor and book a 2-hour trip on this fantastic boat!

We did the sunset sail out of Camden Harbor. The sunset views were incredible, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the sailing spectacular. They also passed around appetizers and there is a cash wine/beer bar. We’d happily do this again.
