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.

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.

This was one of the best activities that we did while vacationing in Maine. We were in Maine for my wife's 50th birthday with another couple and she booked this tour. When we arrived and saw the boat we were taken by its beauty. The boat is magnificent and beautiful. The cruise started through the harbor making its way to open waters and we saw so many other beautiful boats. Captain Shaun was knowledgeable of the other boats and the historical significance of the area and shared that knowledge with everyone on board. The crew Matt and John did an excellent job handling the boat and taking care of everyone. When the sails went up they were massive. When the boat began to sail it was truly an experience that I will never forget. I will never forget the quiet sound of the boat cutting through the water without any sound of an engine. Once we were sailing the crew served drinks and hor devours. They served shrimp that were fresh and delicious. We the sun began to go down beyond the mountains it was picture perfect. This is a pleasure cruise, not a party cruise. It is a perfect setting to propose to someone. I highly recommend the cruise.
