This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Camden Harbor Park and Amphitheatre, 55 Main St, Camden, ME 04843-1723
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.
Stop At: Schooner Appledore II Windjammer Cruise, 18 Bayview Landing Next to Camden Town Landing / I waterside of Peter Otts Restaurant, Camden, ME 04843-2249
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.
Stop At: Curtis Island Light, 1 Beacon Ave, Camden, ME 04843-2205
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.
Stop At: Mount Battie, Camden Hills State Park 280 Belfast Road, Camden, ME 04843
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.

The crew was awesome! Fun to watch them put up and take down the sails and sailing of the ship. Very interesting to learn about what they do as a live on crew. The history of the Appledore II was so impressive. The cruise was beautiful and a delight.

We found the crew to be knowledgeable engaging and proficient in their jobs.

They were quick to serve drinks, give some history of the islands we were passing, and take care of us.

This cruise was absolutely amazing! The crew were extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly. I most definitely would recommend this excursion. Even though the day had been a little overcast at times, we were thrilled with a spectacular sunset which was what we hoped for. Honestly, even if we had not seen the sunset, it still would have been a memorable cruise.Loved watching cute Nathan pass out drinks and pull the ropes. Cruise itself was very scenic, but a bit chilly this time of year.
