READ ABOUT THE EXCITING CHANGES UNDERWAY HERE AT THE

MAINE WINDJAMMER ASSOCIATION IN ADDITION TO

HOLIDAY GIFT OPPORTUNITIES!


The Maine Windjammer Association continues to set standards for safety and comfort while offering unique, exciting and safe adventures attracting vacationers of all ages and walks of life. Shorter cruises give a taste of the majestic beauty and serenity of the Maine coast. Our traditional six-day package guarantees complete immersion in the simple routines of shipboard life, many ports-of call and a night of all the lobster you can eat. Every cruise promises lighthouses, seals and porpoises with dramatic and pristine scenery around every rocky bend.

This year, the Association fleet has grown by two to include the American Eagle and the Heritage. The American Eagle is a 1930's Gloucester fishing schooner rebuilt in 1986 and recently designated a National Historic Landmark. Built in 1983 by her owners, the Heritage was built specifically for the windjamming trade along the lines of a traditional coasting schooner.

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, GIVE THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING

A MAINE WINDJAMMER CRUISE

The Maine Windjammer Association is offering great holiday discounts!

 

You've given them ties, hankies, and briefs; you've given them scarves, rings, and perfume. What you've probably noticed is that, even if they fit, those gifts are forgotten like thoughts of snow in June. This year, instead of lining their closets, inspire their imagination and relax their minds, with a Maine windjammer cruise.

Your friends and family will thank you like never before when they find themselves exploring uninhabited islands, poking through boutiques on coastal fishing villages and learning the ins and outs of sailing an authentic 19th-century schooner.

When you book a windjammer cruise as a holiday gift, your loved one will receive a gift-wrapped VHS video about windjamming to whet his or her appetite. This brand-new video will take you and your loved one through a typical day of windjamming complete with a beachside lobster bake. What's more, you will receive a generous holiday discount from the captains when you book your cruise before the holidays. If you aren't sure about sailing dates, the windjammers will provide a gift certificate, redeemable at a later date.
