Windjammer Weddings

It’s one of the biggest days of your life. Think BIG.

MY BOUNTY IS AS BOUNDLESS AS THE SEA
MY LOVE AS DEEP;
THE MORE I GIVE TO THEE, THE MORE I HAVE,
FOR BOTH ARE INFINITE.”

William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet

Planning to get married this summer? Celebrating an anniversary or renewing your vows? If you’re looking for a unique way to celebrate a milestone moment with that special someone, consider doing it aboard a Maine windjammer.

Most of the captains are licensed to perform weddings at sea or on shore. From intimate island nuptials to pirate-themed weddings, the captains are happy to help you plan the perfect ceremony. Invite your family and friends and charter an entire vessel for up to a week or leave the wedding party behind and enjoy a relaxing cruise along the coast of Maine. A few of the windjammers even boast honeymoon suites!

When a couple chooses to marry aboard one of the Maine Windjammer Association vessels, captains and chefs are available to take care of everything from baking the cake to performing the ceremony.

So cast off your wedding worries! We’ll take care of every detail with the same passionate attention we give to our classic windjammer schooners.

While there are no heart-shaped hot tubs or canopy beds, guests will delight in the natural beauty of the Maine coast, the rich experience of sailing a 19th-century tall ship, the delicious food and great camaraderie.
