Schooner Surprise: Sunset sail with live music
Midcoast Maine, Maine Coast
About This Activity
The live music sunset sail on Schooner Surprise combines the classic Camden Bay evening cruise with a local musician performing on deck. As the sun drops over the Camden Hills, acoustic folk or bluegrass accompanies the changing colors. Homemade desserts are served. A uniquely Maine experience that sells out fast in peak season.
Seasonal note: Live music sails offered select evenings June–Sept; check schedule
