| Launched in 1871 the lewis R. French is the oldest sailing schooner! |
A truly unique vacation....
A cruise aboard the Windjammer Lewis R. French is both an exciting and relaxing vacation, combining the beautiful coast of Maine with tremendous sailing aboard a historic tallship.
We offer 3, 4 and 6 day sailing vacations from late May to early October, sailing from our beautiful homeport of Camden, Maine. Spend your days sailing Maine's pristine coast, and your evenings anchored in snug, gorgeous harbors.
On board, we have single, double and bunkbeds cabins available, as well as a full galley where our delicious meals, snacks and desserts are prepared by our professional crew.
The French is a very traditional and historic vessel, in fact she was designated a National Historic Landmark. Launched in April 1871, she is the oldest active commercial schooner in the United States. She is still sailed exactly as she would have sailed a hundred years ago: she has no noisy inboard engine on board and relies on nearly 3000 square feet of sail. Fear not though, she has been upgraded with electricity, modern navigation equipment and conveniences, and complies with all U.S. Coast Guard safety standards. We are 100% non-smoking on board.
Please explore our website for more information and feel free to give us a call (1-800-469-4635) or email with any questions or if you would just prefer to speak with a human. We look forward to sailing with you aboard the Lewis R. French.
