Themed Sailing Adventures
Sailing and Hiking
These trips are a wonderful combination of sailing and exploring. Guests will get to explore some of the great hiking trails we have discovered. After or before sailing each day, we’ll take advantage of the long June days and head ashore for a hike. Hikes of different lengths and levels can be arranged. All hiking is optional.
Windjammer Gam
One evening we’ll raft up with other Maine Windjammers for an evening of music and sea time camaraderie. Bring your camera, and pick up some techniques from our guest professional photographer, Bob Jenks of Jenks Studios in Vermont. This is a unique opportunity to tour and photograph these vessels up close.
Lighthouse Cruises
Four-night and Six-night Lighthouse Cruises
We'll make an effort to sail close up to some of midcoast Maine's beautiful lighthouses offering guests great photo opportunities. We will try to visit a few ashore as well.
Windjamming and Kayaking
One morning guests will have the optional opportunity to kayak among the hundreds of protected islands between Deer Isle and Isle au Haut. You’ll find the paddling phenomenal among these islands. Experienced Maine kayaking guides will lead us on this paddle, give lessons to beginner kayakers, and tailor the length of the course to the skill level of the group. You’ll have the option to stop for an island stroll as well.
Race Week
Maine's Windjammers and other tall ships meet to participate in an exciting day of racing. Get involved in sail handling and strategy, or just sit back and enjoy the sight of these majestic tallships racing under full sail.
Music Festival Week
Midweek we'll sail to Swan's Island to attend the Sweet Chariot Music Festival, a gathering only accessible by boat! This evening show features performers from all over the U.S. www.sweetchariotmusicfestival.com.
Camden Windjammer Festival
WoodenBoat Rendezvous
The French joins other Windjammers for one last gathering in Brooklin, Maine, home to WoodenBoat Magazine and School. This is a great opportunity to photograph these vessels close up under full sail, tour the WoodenBoat school and see some really cool wooden boats.
Downrig
At the end of our last sail of the season, we invite interested guests to help downrig the schooner for the winter - unbend the sails, remove the running rigging and otherwise prepare the French for the offseason.
Classic Windjamming Adventure
As windjammers in Maine have since 1936, we sail wherever the winds and tides take us.
Knit Along with Captain Becky
Join a friendly goup of knitters of all levels, for a sailing-themed knit-along. Pick up some new crafting skills, and share your skills with your shipmates.
Reservation & Cancellation Policy:
For all trips, a $300 deposit is required per guest upon reservation. The balance is due 8 weeks before the sail date. A full refund - less a $30 cancellation fee - will be given if you cancel before 8 weeks of the sail date. A full refund (less $30) will be granted for cancellations within 8 weeks of the sail date if we can fill your space. We strongly suggest you purchase travel insurance, just in case.
