Itching to see what lies beyond the bustling and beautiful Camden Harbor? Want a tour of Maine’s vibrant coast line? Hop on one of Camden’s historic schooners to sail the Penobscot Bay in style!

Located off of Bayview Landing, tourists can enjoy a sailing experience from four beautifully crafted schooners. Each with a unique history, these hand constructed schooners sail past Camden’s Curtis Island into the famous Penobscot Bay. Sailors will experience an adventure of majestic coastal views and wildlife all while getting a first hand account from a real Maine Sea Captain.

The “Appledore II”
– Having sailed around the world, the Appledore II is the largest vessel to offer day sails in Camden’s Harbor. Built in 1978, this 86 foot wooden windjammer offers ocean tours out of a sunny Camden harbor in the summer, but looks for warmer waters in Key West, Florida during the winter months. Travelers can help sail the ship and hoist its sails, or simply relax and get a drink from the schooner’s bar.

The “Lazy Jack II”
– Placed in Camden’s harbor in 2004, the Lazy Jack II is the only schooner sailing out of Camden that was built by its owner. Hand crafted locally just beyond the Camden foothills in Hope Maine, the Lazy Jack II offers day sails as well as private charters for any event. Bring your own lunch as you explore the beauty of the Midcoast.

The “Olad”
– Originally called the “Whistle Binkie”, the Olad was built in 1927. Adopting the name “Olad” in the 1940’s, the schooner eventually found its way to the beautiful Camden Harbor under the careful watch of Captain Aaron Lincoln. This 57 foot schooner offers day sails as well as custom charters.

The “Surprise”
– Used originally as a racing/cruising yacht, this 57 foot schooner has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Sailing out of Camden’s Harbor for 28 years, the Surprise offers a historic tour of the Penobscot Bay region.
