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 very pleasant trip along the coast of Maine, with gorgeous views of lighthouses as the sun set. The captain was knowledgeable and friendly.

What an incredible way to enjoy the delights of Camden's harbor at magic hour, and what a peaceful way to cruise beyond the noise and hubbub of the mainland - even if only for 2 incredible hours aboard the meticulously manned Schooner Appledore. The crew are charismatic, helpful, entertaining and entirely adept at manning their craft while answering questions, filling drinks and elevating the experience to be so much more than a typical sunset cruise. This was without a doubt the highlight of our time spent in Camden. Congrat's to Gus and the crew.

Beautiful views. Great friendly staff. We had a wonderful cruise experience and were chatting it up with people. The drinks were on the money too.
