The Schooner Appledore II a traditional
86-foot wooden Windjammer, offers a variety of cruises out of Camden, Maine, and
Key West, Florida.
In the summer, enjoy a sightseeing daysail on
Penobscot Bay, where you can observe first-hand the wildlife, islands,
lighthouses, lobster boats, and beautiful coast of Downeast Maine. In the winter
months, join us during your Key West vacation on the waters of the Caribbean. Go
snorkeling in North America's only living coral reef or relax on a tropical
sunset sail. The Appledore also offers charter sails for weddings,
parties, family reunions, or any event that would be fun at sea.
From the moment you set foot upon her solid
deck, you sense something special about the Appledore. You are taken with
the massive spars, the symmetry of the halyards and sheets coiled on their pins,
the glossy grain of varnished wood. Nothing stirs the romantic heart more then
the Appledore’s classic wooden hull whispering its way into the seas. The
Appledore – more then a boat, it’s a tradition.
The
Appledore can accommodate up to 49 passengers for private
charters.
 | Weddings |
 | Receptions |
 | Family Reunions |
 | Corporate Charters |
 | A group of family or friends |
 | Camps |
For any event that requires space for a large group or
even just a small gathering, the Appledore is both accommodating
and fun.
Being
a licensed premise in the States of Maine and Florida, the Appledore
can provide a large selection of imported and domestic beers, wines,
cocktails, and champagne service.
Food
service can be arranged from hors d'oeurvres to buffet-style dinners, box
lunches, or maybe just a bowl of hot clam chowder and bread.
All food service is quoted separate from the charter
agreement. Please ask our office to help you make a selection of trays to
compliment your event.
Normally
charters are two hours in length, but can be booked for additional time to
accommodate your particular needs.
Please inquire about our theme sails, including our Dark
Harbor trips past the mansions of Isleboro.
The Appledore can accommodate up to 20
passengers on overnight trips. Please call for details.
The
Appledore is expertly maintained for your safety and comfort, and
operated by a licensed, professional crew.
A deposit must be made at the time of booking to hold
your requested date. The balance is due prior to sailing.
Taxes and fees (where applicable) are not included. A
crew gratuity, which is customary, is also not included. This is left to
the discretion of the charterer. |
| Come join us for a snorkel trip in
the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Our
Key West snorkel trips include a high
level of personal attention as we limit ourselves to less than half of the
ship's passenger carrying capacity. The Appledore is the only
windjammer-class vessel that goes to the reef in Florida.
SNORKEL TRIPS INCLUDE:
• Maximum time at the reef
• Less passengers & more personal attention from the crew
• Snorkel gear & instruction
• Buffet lunch & drinks
• Beer & wine after snorkeling
• Special rates for children
• Daily 10:30 a.m. departure; returns approx. 3:30 p.m.

Spring,
summer, or fall, a cruise on the 86-foot Schooner Appledore - the
largest vessel offering short daysails out of Camden Harbor - is the very best
way to experience the coast of Maine.
The
Appledore sails four times a day, seven days a week, past evergreen
islands and picturesque lighthouses. We routinely see seals, osprey, eagles and
porpoises on our two-hour sightseeing daysail adventures. Watch lobstermen haul
their traps. Enjoy the majestic vistas of the coastal mountains and glorious
sunsets.
The
Appledore departs from and returns to Bayview Landing at the heart of
Camden Harbor. The Appledore has an abundance of comfortable seating,
plus a broad deck you can stroll without ever having to duck the rigging. You
are welcome to stretch out and relax, help raise the sails or take a turn at the
wheel and experience first-hand the thrill of sailing a tall ship.
The
Appledore is a traditional wooden windjammer that was designed for
adventure. Seaworthy and stable, she was built in Maine in 1978. She has sailed
around the world, and her imagination stirring voyages have been chronicled in
two books.
