Trip Description

The best of both worlds. See Maine's mid-coast from the water and ashore.

We'll enjoy exploring the Maine coast in search of the perfect lobster island before heading toward the beautiful town of Camden, where the mountains meet the sea. Friday afternoon and evening we'll enjoy all that Camden has to offer.

This is a once-a-year opportunity to join us as we we sail into Camden Harbor, reminiscent of the days when dozens of schooners lined the waterfront. Spectators watch from shore in envy as we sail in with the ship dressed in flags. Our arrival at the dock is celebrated by firing the ship’s cannon.

Head ashore and join the festivities. Visit shops of Maine artisans and craft vendors. Enjoy a stroll through the scenic town, enjoying the beautiful parks and gardens. Cap off the day with a spirited talent show between the windjammers’ crews, and evening fireworks.
