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.

While visiting Maine for just a few days, we had scheduled this Windjammer cruise which ended up being at the end of the second day of a rare nor’easter hitting the area. The rain, which had begun the day before and was a torrential downpour, did not really end until a couple of hours before the cruise left at 6 PM, and we were so happy to be on that cruise! It was relaxing, peaceful, Captain Matt and his crew Sydney and Sean were excellent, personable and professional. It was unfortunate that there were so many clouds, there was no sunset to be seen, but no one can control that and we loved the sailing anyway. Highly recommend this as an activity for any age.

How the Captain and crew interacted with the passengers and described the history of the area and sights we passed by. We would suggest that printed versions of what is seen as well as the history of the area be made available to look at or even take away as a rememberance.

Nice little cruise even tho there was not a beautiful sunset. Had some great conversations and laughs with fellow passengers and no one died or went swimming, per the Captain's orders. Great little history lesson about the Appledore and other schooners at the end! On the Key West trip there are appetizers!
