One of the evenings, we'll raft up together with other windjammers and enjoy the music of The Charlie Nobles, the Stephen Taber’s house band.

Fireworks at Camden Harbor
Camden Windjammer Festival
We’ll gather with the fleet toward the end of the trip in picturesque Camden Harbor for the Camden Windjammer Festival, its festivities reminiscent of the days when hundreds of coastal schooners lined the waterfront. A parade of sail, flag-raising ceremonies, live music, dancing, crew talent show, fireworks – there’s something for everyone.
Final Fleet Gathering at WoodenBoat
On our last rendezvous with the fleet for the season, we’ll gather at the beautiful campus headquarters of WoodenBoat School where boat building and craftsmanship are taught and preserved. Ashore, you’ll be treated to refreshments, live music, and facility tours. Bring your camera for a spectacular sunset at Eggemoggin Reach.
