Sail Away in Camden The coast of Maine is best known for its lobsters and scenic beauty. What better way to enjoy both than on a statuesque windjammer? Windjammers, for those who are unfamiliar, are a fleet of historic sailboats that sail from Camden Harbor. A few boats offer day sails, but most take passengers on trips that span several days, where guests sleep on board, help to haul sails, and most of all, relax and enjoy delicious food. Guests on windjammer sails fall in love with these historic, often wooden, beauties, sleeping in cozy cabins and jumping off the topsides into the brisk Atlantic water on warm days. The crew of the ship works hard to ensure that your every need is met—as long as those needs include good company, delicious food, and beautiful views of the Maine coastline. Typically, boats set sail and spend a few nights at anchor in different spots around the islands of Penobscot Bay. There’s no real agenda, just sailing in whatever direction the wind takes you, and naturally, a good island lobster bake. The crew will head out to an island and prepare a feast for you, carefully piling high seaweed to steam lobsters, corn, and potatoes. When the food is ready, someone will row you out for dinner. You can wash any lobster juice or butter off your hands right in the ocean. That’s the Maine way! You’ll return to the mainland stronger, tanner, and completely relaxed. The luxurious Whitehall is a the perfect landing or jumping off spot for one of these nautical adventures. If you want to try out a windjammer for a day, take advantage of our special offer: 10% off a 2-hour sail on the Schooner Surprise. For a longer adventure, browse the member vessels in the Maine windjammer fleet and choose your ship. Bon voyage! Sail Away in Camden.
