What an incredible experience! Beautiful weather, lots of wind and breathtaking views. Crew was friendly and engaging with everyone and even took pictures for us. Two hours of bliss. Camden is a beautiful place and I would highly recommend this sailing.

We had a fabulous time on the Appledoorc sunsets cruise. Captain Pablo was very friendly and informative during our sail. The schooner was at full capacity and the mates, Ryan and Andy raised the sails and made sure everyone had fun. The drinks and beautiful weather for our sunset sail also helped made this a memorable trip. Highly recommend!

My fiancé and I had an exceptional time aboard this sailing ship. I would highly recommend this experience to people who love being out on the water. The beauty lives up to expectations and you won’t regret it. The staff were exceptionally trained and personable. The drinks were very moderately priced and the experience was top notch.

Weather cancellation - great customer service!

Steve_F, Jul 2026
Unfortunately our sail was cancelled due to weather, but I was impressed that I received a call directly from Windjammer to inform me of the decision to cancel the sunset trip. They assured me they would refund the 3rd party I booked through within a few hours, and said if that company delayed my refund that they would help to work it out. Great customer service in a situation beyond their control. The kind of company I like to work with!
