Great Trip. My goal for the trip was to introduce my girlfriend to sailing in hopes to get her hooked on a sailing dream I have. Everything was great! We got to town early and the folks at Maine Windjammer pointed us in the all the right directions to stay busy, cozy and of course well fed. Once on board... More

I was hesitant to go on this trip at first because I wasn't sure how it would be like to be stuck on a schooner but I spoke to Margaret on the phone and was sold. This was the experience of a lifetime thanks to Maine Windjammer Cruises. Everything seemed to have aligned and the trip could not have been... More

My husband and I had a FABULOUS time on the Mistress (September 13, 14, and 15, 2012). It was just as great as our longer sail on the Schooner Mercantile in 1993. Captain Andy and Mate/Cook Becky were wonderful - both were so professional and capable and were lots of fun, too. They treated us as though we were the... More

Hello Capt. Ray & Crew ~ It was a time to remember. All of you were on top of your game and yes, I would do it all again. Thank you so much for a wonderful adventure. Everything was perfect. And the meals (lots of them) were outstanding. This Old Salt enjoyed "keeping the tradition alive" and looking forward to... More

We were lucky enough to spend three days and nights on a restored Windjammer sailing ship. The food was great and the views spectacular. There were 6 passengers. We went with another couple that we knew and one couple that we didn't know. The weather was very nice, but the winds were not very brisk. The crew consisted of two... More

What a great experience. The Mistress is the smallest boat in the fleet (60') which makes for an intimate experience. We sailed for four days in late September with one other couple aboard. The wind was great as we cruised in and around several Maine Islands, stopping to disembark on two of them. The first night we enjoyed a wonderfully... More

This was our first sailing trip (three days) on the Grace Bailey, a Maine Windjammer schooner. We sailed with Captain Ray Williamson; the boat is impeccably maintained and the crew and captain were professional and highly competent. We saw seal colonies basking on boulders, black guillemots, cormorants and porpoises. We enjoyed a lobster bake at sunset on Babson Island and... More

The three vessels making up this fleet are wonderful to look at and just as good to sail on if you are a robust type of person ! The food on board is really good and cooked on a wood fuelled stove, The crew are very good at their jobs - combining a wide range of personalities and skills -... More

If you are in love with Maine and the sea then this is a way to experience both during a wonderful week of forgetting all else. You'll anchor at a different fishing village each night, the rocky coast will never be far away, and the stars will cover you at night. And, you will likely find pleasant camaraderie with fellow...
