Enjoy Windjammer cruises in Maine aboard America’s Oldest Windjammer, the Schooner Lewis R. French.  Sailing from Camden, Maine, the Lewis R. French offers 3 to 6 day sailing vacations along Maine’s rugged, picturesque coast. You’ll enjoy smooth sailing and serenity, homemade cuisine, plenty of lobster, and abundant coastal wildlife. This is a tall ship sailing cruise you’ll never forget.

The 65-foot Maine Windjammer is the oldest active commercial schooner in the United States and has been designated a National Historic Landmark. She is still sailed much as she would have been a hundred year ago, relying on nearly 3000 square feet of towering sails, instead of noisy engines. She has been upgraded with modern equipment and conveniences and private cabins.  There’s no better way to experience a Maine coast vacation.

The French has a professional crew of four ready to meet your highest expectations.  Whether you’re looking to experience the best in an extended coastal vacation or a quick weekend getaway in Maine, we have a trip for you. The schooner is perfect for single travelers or couples, as well as family reunions, private charters and Maine honeymoons. Or, if you’re looking for the perfect small Maine wedding option, consider a Windjammer wedding. Please feel free to call or email with any questions about our Schooner Windjammer cruises. We look forward to sailing with you!
