What to Expect
Your all-inclusive windjammer cruise is probably the most relaxing vacation you’ll ever experience. You’ll spend about six hours each day under sail meandering through the islands and bays of mid-coast Maine. Guests are invited to participate in all shipboard activities, from taking a turn at the wheel to raising and lowering sails.  The ever-changing scenery provides guests with close-up views of seals and porpoises, lighthouses and lobstermen, sometimes even whales and puffins. 

Every afternoon, your windjammer drops anchor in the safe, snug harbor off a quiet fishing village or an uninhabited island where you can go ashore and explore. You might cap an exhilarating day of sailing with a beachside lobster bake, star gazing, some folk music or storytelling on deck or perhaps a game of Scrabble around the wood stove.

Simply put, windjamming is about relaxing.  It’s about gorgeous scenery and sharing adventure with new friends.  It’s about learning how to sail a tall ship and throwing itineraries to the wind.  Even first-time sailors enjoy the experience because land is always in sight.  Take a windjammer cruise and the toughest decision you might have to make is how many lobsters to eat at the beachside lobster bake.
