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.

The deckmates were all friendly, helpful and professional. Besides from keeping the boat afloat they served drinks and mingled with us. Fun group and beautiful views. Wish I could do this more frequently.

The Appledore crew was fabulous and were very knowledgeable about the schooner and area and made us feel at home. Prompt courteous and great service on the beverages. Our seating was comfortable, and it is definitely a do again experience. We can't wait for next year to go again. Thank you Appledore crew safe sailing to Key West.

It was a perfect late afternoon for a cruise. The schooner was well maintained, the crew was terrific, beautiful sailing and I liked the audience participation! I only wish the captain had a microphone as he was on the other end of the vessel so hard to hear. Great experience and great price!

Captain Pablo and his crew were top notch! They were friendly, very knowledgeable, helpful, and worked together seamlessly to make the cruise safe, comfortable, and a fun experience for all! We will definitely go out on this ship again whenever we're in the area. Thank you for everything Captain and crew!
