    I wanted to take a sailboat ride around the harbor and there were plenty of schooner tours at Camden, but the question was which schooner. This one caught our eye because it was a smaller vessel with only 4-6 passengers and it was made out of fiberglass. The salesperson was very nice and sold us on this boat. The captain was nice, but probably not the best tour guide although the gave us interesting tidbits of information particularly regarding the lobster industry. It was a beautiful day for sailing and I really enjoyed. I did like that there were only six passengers and one crew plus the captain. Definitely would recommend this schooner!

    Highly recommend Lazy Jack for a sail out of Camden!

    Highly recommend a sail on the Lazy Jack out of Camden! Great vibe, knowledgeable and just fun!

    Me hoisting a sail.  They let volunteers help which is awesome!!!

    It was the first time my wife and I have ever sailed. It was fantastic. Great views and a great crew. We met so many interesting people during the cruise. We had so much fun and words can't describe this group. Makes me want to have my own boat and learn to sail.

    We went out on the morning cruise. The crew (of 2) were very knowledgeable and would answer any questions we had. My husband even got to help raise one of the sails. The boat was only about 1/2 full, which made it really nice. We had plenty of room to move around. The ride was super relaxing and seeing Camden from the water is a must! Would definitely go on this tour again.

    Sail raising.

    See all

    A lazy cruise around Camden harbor does a body good. The crew was cool and casual, and enjoyed chatting up everyone.

    What a fabulous fun experience sailing out of Rockport, ME on The Heron. It was the highlight of…read moreour trip. Bonnie did a great job telling us some of the history of the ship and area. Love when the sails are lifted!!! Motor turned off, quiet, smooth ride! So relaxing. It is a beautiful ship. Lots of shinny teak. Delightful with great crew and just a few guests on board. Free parking right by dock. Thank you, Bonnie and Twig for making my sail special. Highly recommend!

    One of our favorite things to do when in Rockland is sailing aboard the Schooner Heron. We sailed…read more2x with them in 2020 and the first thing we did when we got back to Rockland this year was to look at the weather and book a trip with them. I picked an afternoon with an expected 14mph wind, so I knew we would sail smartly. I was surprised that Taylor was captaining the boat this trip instead of Twig, but his boat handling was conservative and flawless. Of coarse Bonnie was aboard to do her excellent narration regarding the history of Rockland's lime, timber, ice, shipbuilding and lobster industries and also tell us all about the lighthouse, islands, and seals we saw. Twig and Bonnie's personable adult daughter Rachel was also on board as crew. Bonnie and Rachel handled hoisting, trimming, reefing and tacking the sails as a well-oiled team. We started out conservatively with the fore mast and main mast sails both reefed, but were later able to shake out the reef on the fore mast sail for a little more speed without heeling the boat. We were able to sail near Robinson's Rock and saw that there were several seals sunning them selves there. We sailed midweek on a Thursday and there was lots of room for everybody on board. Taylor and Rachel cheerfully answered my many questions about the boat, the boat's offshore passages to and from the Caribbean each year and about local events. This was the first time sailing for the family seated across from us, but they had a good time. There was another group forward of us that pretty much kept to themselves so I didn't have a chance to chat with them, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves too. I did a bunch of small boat pleasure sailing and medium sized keelboat racing while I was at the University of Texas. I don't own a sailboat so the only sailing I have done since has been on Hobie Wave catamarans at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean. I really enjoy chances to sail on bigger boats like the Schooner Heron. The Schooner Heron sails three trips daily from Rockport Harbor: Private morning sail, an afternoon Educational Eco Tour, and a Happy Hour Sunset Sail. Custom charters are also available on request. There is free parking in the harbor lot. Whether you have sailed before or just want to try it on vacation, I highly recommend sailing on the Schooner Heron as a solo, couple or family activity. You will have fun and be entirely comfortable with the ship and crew. They will treat you right. We're back in Rockland in a couple of weeks and will surely sail with them at least once more before heading back to Texas.

    Dear Ray & Ann Williamson - Windjammer "Swift" Owner,…read more Thank you, thank you, for giving us the respite so desperately needed!! Your amazing & beautiful boat and perfectly crafted cruise shifted us entirely away from the habitual stressors of our lives. The beauty of the Maine coastline and being taken care of by your amazing crew (our Captain Hans, Deck-hand Miles, and Chef Levin), who were all hardworking, talented and a pleasure to spend time with. They Worked hard all day long, clearly knew what they were doing, shared the load, while enjoying every moment. As we watched their skills in action keeping your fabulous Windjammer upwind from our comfortable deck chairs, we delighted in the fresh sea breezes, and enjoyed the delicious and creative menu, which was unexpectedly luxurious. Thank you again for the gift of our time on Windjammer Swift! Chris & family sailed Camden Maine 7/2/25 - 7/5/25

    My wife chose this trip because it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. I was not going to let…read moremyself get excited; because I have always loved the idea of sailing and yet have never been and did not want to get my hopes up. My only trepidation was having to put up with other people who had no sense of humor. So, Sunday we arrived just an hour before check-in and upon arrival the nice lady at the front desk was probably far more cheerful than I would be at that hour. But I loved it! We brought our small amount of gear on board and was shown our rooms after a brief lesson by the Captain. Our room and beds were small and by no means should you expect one of these rooms to be of cruise like quality, because you should not want to spend your days in your cabin and that is the point! We slept pretty well that first night before we set sail and all of our stuff fit neatly in our cabin with room to stand and change. The ship was probably around 140 years old and was maybe 100 feet in length, with large wood masts heavy sails and you can hear the very slight creaking in the wood all around the boat as it rocked with the ocean. I was totally in love with her already. That night I met a few of the crew and passengers on deck while we kind of introduced ourselves in a non formal fashion which made me more at ease and since I clicked with everyone that I had met, I knew that I was going to have a great time. The next morning they served some Mexican omelette type thing which was cooked on a wood stove down in the galley, which I thought was cool as hell. Now, this omelette set the tone for how the rest of the meals were going to be MOST EXCELLENT! We were invited to help raise sails once we were pushed off out of port and like a kid in a toy store, I did. There was a small complement of crew and passengers, 14 maybe in total, so it was a lot less crowded than it could be. During that time I met the rest of the passengers and crew I did not meet the night before. I went down into the galley to thank the cook that made that fantastic breakfast and ended up chopping garlic. We sailed what seemed like forever and not long enough. Our first stop was Stoningham where we dropped anchor and ate a wonderful dinner, lunch was good too, and also it had garlic. Now when my wife had mentioned that it was a working boat, I thought to myself, GREAT IT WORKS, who knew? LOL, well I ended up doing all kinds of work, not because I was forced or it was mandatory, but because it was something you wanted to do. Once we got back, we hauled anchor again and set sail for another island, which had no one on it and we went ashore and walked it beautiful sandy beaches. I think that night we had lobster cooked over a fire. The next day we raised anchor and set sail to Rockport where after another wonderful dinner we sat and listened to one of the Captains poems that he wrote and was published, he read other things that he liked and we all sat there and listened as we drank our beers and relaxed the night away. The next day we sailed back to Camden and after playing a few jokes on Captain Ray, it was time to go home. I think that I speak for pretty much everyone on board when I say we wanted to stay and everything we had seen and done all over again. I just want to say thank you to Captain Christopher, Dillon, Dawson, Sara, and Collin. I will remember this to be the best anniversary trip ever. Even better than that cruise ship we took for our honeymoon. Oh and speaking of cruise ships, I found out from other ships crews that the Chamber of Commerce has been catering to the large cruise ships which is taking away business to this unique to Maine Schooner sailing. I questioned the crew I was on board with but they just shook their heads without a response. It is too bad if it's true because it was such an amazing experience that I feel that everyone should have a chance to enjoy. Thank you for the most beautiful and memorable experience, Douglass and Dorothy
