Your Itinerary

Camden Harbor Park and Amphitheatre

(Pass by)

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.

I highly recommend this trip , my wife and I had a great time. Captain Paul, and mates Heather and Max were awesome. We met some very nice people , had a couple of cocktails, and even had the chance to raise one of the sails. If you get the chance to do this , you will not regret it.

Enjoyed it very much. Small group of passengers. Sunset golden hour was great. We were able to photo similar ships nearby which gave us a feel for what we were experiencing, while having close encounters with the crew and the actual sailing process.

A perfect way to end our first day arriving in Camden. The cruise was very pleasant, I.e. no rough water and a very lite breeze. The views were terrific. We saw harbor seals and dolphins swimming. The sunset was spectacular on the Albacore's final sail of the season. The crew was delightful and extremely friendly. A wonderful overall experience and highly recommended.

The 2-hour outing on the Sunset Sailing was awesome. My wife and I loved the feel of a true "Sailing Ship". A wonderful experience. We got some great pictures. We also met several great people as we rode the waves together.

We did a sunset sail on the Appledore 27 years ago when we got engaged in Camden and the experience has not changed (I mean that in a good way!). A relaxing sunset sail out into the bay. The crew was friendly and helpful and the scenery was beautiful as always.
