Discover These Great Wooden Schooners...
Appledore II, a famous Windjammer, circumnavigated the globe on her first journey. She continues to prove her seaworthiness as she makes the twice-a-year journey between Key West and Camden for daily sailing adventures. Appledore Star is the last known “Bugeye” schooner ever built. This unique shallow draft design allows her to navigate Key West’s Backcountry with ease on daily eco-tours exploring mangrove islands.
