Discover Our Coast by Boat!
There’s something timeless about traveling by water. Long before highways and rail lines, boats were the original way to explore, connect and discover. Today, they still offer something no road ever can: perspective, peace and a sense of arrival that begins the moment you step aboard.
At Downeast Windjammers Cruise Lines, we don’t just get you from point A to point B – we help you experience the journey itself. Whether you’re seeking a quiet sightseeing sail, a private fishing adventure or a reliable ferry crossing, we offer multiple ways to travel the waters in our area, each with its own character and charm.
Private Schooners: You Wind-Powered Escape
For travelers who want serenity and authenticity, our private schooners deliver an experience that’s personal and unforgettable.
With billowing sails overhead and open water stretching in every direction, a private schooner charter is perfect for:
- Romantic Getaways
- Family Adventures
- Small Group Celebrations
- Private Fishing Expeditions
Sail past rugged shorelines or simply let the wind do the work while you unplug and relax. This is travel slowed down, refined and deeply connected to the sea. It’s a day on the water that feels earned, rewarding and refreshingly real.
Ferries: Reliable, Scenic, and Essential
Sometimes the journey is about getting where you’re going and getting there comfortably and on time. Our ferry services are designed to do exactly that, while still offering views you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether you’re visiting the Cranberry Islands, Winter Harbor & Schoodic Point or bringing guests from Eastport to Lubec our ferries provide:
- Safe, dependable transportation that’s traffic free
- Experienced Captain and Crews that know these waters
- A front-row seat to the Maine coastline
Even the most practical crossing becomes something special when the horizon opens in front of you.
One Company, Many Ways to Explore
What ties all our vessels together is a shared respect for the water and a commitment to quality experiences. Every trip, whether private or public, leisurely or functional—is run by skilled captains and crews who understand that boat travel isn’t just transportation, it’s part of the story of the coast itself.
So, whether you’re planning a once-in-a lifetime sail, a hands-on fishing adventure or a simple crossing that just happens to be beautiful, we’re here to welcome you aboard, because the best journeys don’t rush the water – they travel with it.
