Tonight marks our final evening sail with live acoustic music for the season.

These sails have become one of my favorite traditions. Watching the sun set behind the Camden Hills while local musicians play on deck creates an atmosphere that's hard to put into words.

As summer begins to wind down, I'm feeling grateful for every musician, every guest and every unforgettable evening we've shared together.

Here's to one more beautiful night on the water.

You don’t need to set aside an entire day to experience Penobscot Bay from the water. Our two-hour sails give you time to leave Camden Harbor behind, settle into the rhythm of the boat and enjoy the coastline at an easy pace.

Labor Day weekend has always felt like one last celebration of summer.

If you're spending the holiday in Midcoast Maine, we'd love to welcome you aboard for a day sail or sunset sail. There's no better way to enjoy the long weekend than feeling the breeze, taking in the Camden shoreline and making memories with the people you love.

We'll be sailing all weekend and on Labor Day, and we can't wait to share the bay with you: https://bit.ly/4p94wwm

There's something special about watching the sun disappear behind the Camden Hills from the deck of a schooner. Even after all these years, it's a view I never get tired of.

Thank you, Amos, for sailing with us and for your kind words! I hope we'll have the chance to welcome you aboard again someday.

With space for up to six guests aboard Sloop Anjacaa, we can create a more intimate sail for couples, families, friends or special celebrations.

From a romantic evening on the bay to a family outing or lobster lunch, Ramiro and I enjoy helping guests plan a sail that feels personal from beginning to end. Schedule your private charter: https://bit.ly/4w1vx6T

Every full moon sail feels a little magical. We cast off while the sun is setting behind the Camden Hills, then watch the full moon rise over Penobscot Bay as the sky changes color around us. Add live acoustic music, the sound of the water and a gentle evening breeze, and it becomes one of those experiences that stays with you long after vacation ends.

Our next full moon sails are this Friday and Saturday. Join us for a sail to remember: https://bit.ly/4fMmC37

One question I hear all the time is, "Will my kids enjoy it?"

The answer is always yes!

Some kids love helping raise the sails. Others can't wait for a turn at the wheel. And honestly, I think the adults get just as excited. No matter your age, there's something special about being out on the water together.

One of my favorite ways to end a day in Camden is out on the water.

As the sun drops behind the Camden Hills, the harbor begins to quiet and the sky takes on a whole new set of colors. It’s peaceful, unhurried and such a beautiful way to experience the Maine coast.

Ramiro and I would love to welcome you aboard for a sunset sail and share one of our favorite views with you. Book your sail here: https://bit.ly/4p94wwm

Even after all these years, I still catch myself stopping to appreciate just how lucky Ramiro and I are to call Penobscot Bay our office.

If you've never experienced Camden from the water, we'd love to welcome you aboard before the season slips away: https://bit.ly/3SkdpXS

Sailing with us can be as relaxed or as hands-on as you want it to be. Guests are welcome to sit back and take in the view, help raise the sails or even take a turn at the wheel. Every sail from Camden Harbor has its own personality, and that's part of the fun!

Thanks to and Snigdha A. for the photos!
