Our first sloop sail, and we had a blast. Crew was friendly and happy to share information. We enjoyed watching them haul sails and navigate the waters on that very big boat! Fun for all ages, a beautiful breeze, sunny skies, what more could you ask for on a summer day in Camden, Maine? We loved every minute of it! Capt. Gus was informative, but funny and friendly which made even the usually dry safety information understandable and memorable. Thanks to all the crew and Capt.!

Captain & crew were fun and friendly, very enjoyable. We lucked out with a perfect day to be on the water. Some of the views were just stunning! I enjoyed the relaxing cruise around the bay. The kids (11, 13, 15) were not all that impressed. I didn’t realize there would be drinks available on board. I was not in the mood to drink & felt a little guilty- kinda like ordering just water to drink at a restaurant. Most people ordered multiple drinks (alcoholic- although other beverages were available as well). Overall, we enjoyed the cruise. Next time we’ll leave the kids at home.

Two hour sail on the schooner Appledore.
We had a really good time on a very beautiful day. The captain was really good, telling some stories and giving us some very good information about how basic sailing works.
The crew was also very communicative with us, while working very hard on the sailing Aspects of the job.

Captain Shawn G and his crew were awesome on our 2 hour sailboat excursion. He was very knowledgeable and was able to keep everyone engaged in the sailing experience. You can tell he loves to sail and wants to share his experience with whoever is interested.

The Appledore Schooner offered a 2-hour afternoon cruise around Penobscot Bay. The cruise very friendly. Drinks were offered for purchase within five minutes of boarding. Weather in Maine can be ever changing. Bright sun and blue skies when we set sail from the public dock. As soon as the crew raised all the sails, the clouds came in and lighting was spotted far in the distant skies. The captain had the crew lower the small sails , motored far from bad weather. Great view of a lighthouse.

The whole process felt safe and it was easy to socially distance from other passengers. The crew was friendly, attentive, and engaging. They even make a great cocktail!
Captain Gus was very informative and has a great sense of humor. You can tell these people love what they do for a living. Overall a great experience! Definitely will be returning!

We enjoyed the sunset cruise on the Appledore schooner. We booked it for our 20 th anniversary. After visiting key west multiple times and seeing the beautiful ships sail past the setting sun we decided it was time to experience it ourselves. We were not disappointed. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. The crew was great !

I booked this excursion on a whim and I’m so glad I did! We had to reschedule our sailing date due to high surf, and they were very accommodating to make that happen within the few days we were in the area. Once aboard, the crew was fun and gave us lots of information about how the ship works, what landmarks are nearby, etc. They kept you supplied with drinks and blankets the whole trip. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Maine!

Thank you so much for the 5 STAR review. Honestly as a manager I give 100% of the credit for our success to the crew, In the end they are the ones that deliver day after day, trip after trip. Thank you for acknowledging their hard work

We were fortunate to have Captain Josh & his crew on December 26th 2024 in Key West. It was an amazing, breathtaking, amusing, informative trip and overall joy for the whole family. Best day ever!

What an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. We went out on the ocean the night before a family reunion and it was so fun! We could get a cocktail, move around to visit with everyone, and also had great conversation with the crew! Josh and Ann Marie were both so friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable. We asked a ton of a questions (and so did the kids) and learned so much about sailing and the ocean! Would absolutely recommend for an amazing adventure with great service and even better views.

Hi
We will be coming to Camden in either September or early October.
1. Can you quote the price per person for a two hour sail for September and October weekdays?
2. Can we book the cruise when we arrive or do we need to make reservations in advance?
Thank you in Advance.
