Captain Aaron Lincoln truly fits the image of the rugged Maine sea captain with his full beard and treasure trove of local stories. We took the two hour sail in the afternoon on a beautiful fall day. The Olad is a two masted schooner which is in impeccable condition. We sailed out to Curtis Island Lighthouse, saw seals in the... More

Had a great time on the Olad. It was a great bargain $35 for 2 hours. Saw the sunset, moon rise cruise. The Captain was very funny, knowledgeable and the first mate was awesome. Took some great photos on the trip. I would absolutely go again, if I returned to the area. The captain takes great care to maintain his... More

Spent two hours on the Olad and I highly recommend it. Perfect mix of sailing time and scenic views with the rest of the day to enjoy Camden. More

We took the first morning cruise during our vacation in August. The wind was not great, so we did more motoring than sailing, but despite this, the captain did a great job of making the best of things. We got close to some wildlife and the captain and his first mate told us about the history of Camden and many... More

There can't be a better way to spend an evening in Camden. We brought our own wine and cheese. (FYI, buy your cheese and wine from the super nice and knowledgeable folks at Lily, Lupine, and Fern on Main Street). The crew was very friendly. The views were spectacular. The sailing was smooth. A bargain at $35. I don't understand... More

Smooth, romantic, relaxing. Capt. Jeff was great. Only thing I would change is for them to come up with a no cellphone policy for patrons. NO answering your phone at sea!! More

After doing some research & reading all the reviews, we were really excited to go on the windjammer cruise with the Olad. Reserved the evening 7pm cruise a week before arrival via their web site. There were plenty of spots still left on their web site (17+) for the time slot. Received an email confirmation & my credit card was... More

We had a great time on the Olad, celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with a sunset cruise. We actually got a call that the sunset cruise was canceled due to rain that was moving into the area, and got on the earlier cruise, and we really appreciated that. We enjoyed the boat, the fresh air and views from a comfortable... More

Signed up for a 5-7 pm afternoon tour. The schooner was built in 1927 and some of the parts of the it are still original (like its compass). Capt. Aaron and First Mate Matthew were welcoming and shared some nice stories. Overall, the sail was chill and it was nice to just be out in the water while in Camden.... More
