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.

Beautiful night watching the sunset on the clipper. Sails full out and cutting thru the water was peaceful and scenic. Crew very nice and captain informative. Would have liked a little more narrative of what we were seeing as we sailed. Anyone with a handicap should be aware that you are required to walk steep metal incline down and up from dockside, and the steps leading on to the boat require a large high step over into the boat. Staff is helpful but no one that is handicapped should sign up for this cruise. I just recently had a serious hip injury and know I could not have done this even a few weeks ago. I did not see any warnings listed to consider before signing on. Thought there might just be a sloped ramp of some type. So glad I was able to do it, because it was a real treat!

This was one of the highlights of our vacation. What a wonderful evening we had, made new friends, drank a little wine, watched the harbor seals swim by, and had a bit of narration from the captain. He didn't overdo it, and we appreciated that. A great value, great way to see Mid-Coast Maine from the Bay.

The ship was beautiful and the sail was peaceful. I thought that on a two hour sail that it might be worth it to purchase the "All Inclusive" drink ticket. NOT SO! When I asked for an additional drink the crew member quoted me a price. I showed her my All Inclusive ticket. She seemed disappointed, but took my order. She did not return for nearly a half hour. When she had no drink in hand I inquired when I would receive it. She said we were now too close to the harbor and no drink service was possible. When we docked I had hoped to inquire at the desk where we signed in but it was now unstaffed. "All Inclusive" ticket? DON'T BUY IT!!
