Your Maine Sailing Vacation Begins Here...

Sailing aboard the Schooner Timberwind for a 3, 4, and 6 day windjammer cruise may be one of the smartest family vacation decisions you will ever make! Your adventure begins in beautiful Rockport Harbor with the sounds of sea birds, and the sent of fresh salt air revitalizing your senses.  From the moment you are welcomed aboard, there is nothing else for you to plan or organize. You can relax and enjoy the luxury of not making another decision (except maybe how much to eat!)  Away from the phones, faxes, emails, and traffic, you are invited to step back in time aboard this National Historic Landmark Vessel, as she sails along the sheltered waters and Islands of Penobscot Bay.  An all-inclusive sailing adventure, your meals are lovingly prepared on a wood burning cook stove by chef and co-owner (Dawn), who delights in treating you to feasts of memorable proportions; delicious foods presented with a passion for detail, and a traditional Maine lobster bake are a feature on every cruise!  A native Maine windjammer, the Timberwind is the only pilot schooner sailing the coast of Maine. With no inboard engine, she sails in harmony with the winds and tides ... and as the saying goes, “Wherever we end up, its right where we want to be, and whenever we get there, we’re right on time” Capt. O.K. Barnes
