Stunning sunset sail - The sunset sail was a highlight of my vacation to Camden. The views of the coastline and harbor were magnificent! The crew men were knowledgeable and had a deep appreciation for the sea and the region. I highly recommend this sail to anyone interested in exploring and seeing this beautiful area.

Camden Sails beyond Expectations - Family of 4 on Sunset Cruise at end of June. Captain and crew were fantastic and very knowledgeable. They really seem to enjoy taking people out on the Appledore II. Sights along the cruise were spectacular. Nice feeling the wind in our sails. Thanks to everyone on the Appledore. I would definitely recommend the two hour cruise for anyone in the area.

Happy I booked this trip - Great experience. Staff professional, knowledgeable and very appreciative and responsive to questions. I have never been on a sailboat cruise. Historic boat and fun to see how they raise and lower the sails. It turned into a lovely evening. Water calm so no sea-sickness (which I am prone to), although one of the staff told me it is not always that calm. Beautiful sunset. All around great experience for everyone -families with kids, teens and adults.

A wonderful experience for ages thanks to great crew. - Seamless experience from ticketing to boarding and on time departure. Great communication with digital ticket, filling out release and reminders. The crew was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend for all ages. The crew had a family with young children help raise the sails and the look on the kids faces was priceless.

Sunset from the Water - The sunset cruise provided beautiful views of Camden from the water. We saw dolphins and seals while on the water. The staff, especially Max and Mary were very friendly and interactive with all of the guests and they offer drinks for purchase on the boat. It was very enjoyable. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because I have been on other sunset sails and I prefer a smaller boat with a more intimate atmosphere. Just a personal preference, but this tour really was a great way to spend your evening in Camden.
