Eastport Windjammers is a charter operator based in Eastport, Maine, offering hands‑on coastal experiences aboard traditional vessels. The company presents two primary public excursions: a Whale Watching Cruise and a Fishing Trip. On the Whale Watching Cruise, guests set sail into Maine’s wild coast to spot whales, playful seals, and soaring eagles, cruise past the Old Sow Whirlpool, photograph lighthouse views, and try their hand at pulling live lobster traps—an adventure for all ages. The Fishing Trip focuses on deep‑sea angling in the Bay of Fundy, where powerful tides bring in mackerel, cod, and pollock. Family‑friendly trips with expert guides make each catch an unforgettable experience.
