If you’re looking to explore where the big ships can’t go, a Maine windjammer can get you there.

Maine and the Windjammer fleet go hand in hand. Nowhere else in North America will you find such a large, historic fleet of traditional sailing vessels. Thousands of wild and pristine islands dot the Maine coast, providing unlimited anchorages for the windjammers. Guests are invited to participate in all shipboard activities, from taking a turn at the wheel to raising and lowering sails. The 13 ships in the Maine Windjammer Association have a well-earned reputation for outstanding sailing adventures and delicious down-home cooking. One night everyone goes ashore for a traditional island lobster bake. Wildlife abounds, with bald eagles, porpoises and seals sighted on every cruise. In the fleet’s home waters of Penobscot Bay, there are hundreds of anchorages just waiting to be explored. Three- to six-day cruises available from May through October. Departures from Camden and Rockland.
