Schooners are two traditional
wooden sailing vessels that offer windjammer cruises to
allow passengers to experience life at sea. Taking a vacation
on a Windjammer involves sailing all day and anchoring every
night in a different harbor on the Maine coast. All meals are
provided and feature the best that New England has to offer.
On every trip you find an uninhabited island and have a lobster
bake with all the fixings. www.schoonerheritage.com
