Schooner Surprise

Schooner Surprise offers scenic day sails and private charters from Camden Harbor, exploring the waters of Penobscot Bay aboard two classic sailing vessels. The schooner Surprise carries up to 18 passengers on relaxed two-hour day trips, while the smaller sloop Anjacaa is limited to six guests for a more intimate experience. Public cruises include views of lighthouses, wildlife, private yachts and coastal estates, with opportunities for guests to help raise sails or take the helm. Specialty trips feature live music sails, sunset cruises, full moon outings and birding or marine life tours. Private charters are available for weddings, celebrations and special events, with options for catered cruises and custom itineraries.
