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.

Took the 6:30 PM sunset cruise, and we're provided with many snacks. If we wanted to see the setting sun this night, they should've kept us all on board overnight for a chance to see if there would be a setting sun the next night. What we saw on our trip was fog and more fog...lol! Gosh, it was still a blast! The bloody mary was not bad either. Highly recommended.

Our crew (Capt Joe, Matt, Seth & Greenhorn Lauren) were excellent! The cruise was great, the crew was very knowledgeable, and the food & drinks were excellent! My kids (8 & 6) were able to help hoist the sails & took the helm the ENTIRE voyage. Can’t say enough good things about this crew - thanks for an awesome voyage!

Just got back from a 2 hour sunset cruise on the Appledore. Wind was not too strong and the sun was a bit hidden from clouds, however, it was very peaceful and enjoyable. Amanda was an excellent host and phenomenal deck hand. Had very enjoyable conversation with her. I got to help hoist the sale with Matt, despite my very poor help (and constantly hitting Matt) the sail was raised. Matt was very kind and refrained from tossing me overboard. This cruise is great for getting to meet others, enjoy light food and drinks out on the beautiful bay. They do accept credit cards for drinks so you don’t have to load up on cash.
