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.

The crew was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable; sharing the history of the ship and allowing volunteers to help with hoisting the sails! The guests on board with me ranged from children to adults. I absolutely recommend this trip! Not only do you get a great tour of the bay, and a beautiful Sunset, but we also saw seals and a harbor porpoise!

Thank you so much for the 5 STAR review. It is indeed our pleasure to take people (like you) out into beautiful Penobscot Bay for a couple of hours on our historic sailing vessel The Schooner Appledore.

What a beautiful way to see the sunset! The Appledore II is a classic schooner and the captain and crew are delightful. We saw seals lounging on th rocks and swimming in the water. The views of the Maine islands were beautiful and the sunset was memorable. Definitely bring a jacket, it gets cool out there! The crew had blankets if you needed it, which I thought was a great idea.

Great review, thanks and yes it does get chilly out in the bay. We do provide blankets, should someone need them.
