Welcome aboard Appledore III, a 62-foot traditional topsail schooner, designed by the legendary Bud McIntosh and built in 1984 by Herb and Doris Smith in Littleton, New Hampshire. She has recently returned from her second circumnavigation to her home port of Rockport, Massachusetts.

Our U.S. Coast Guard Licensed Captains and trained crew will help make your cruise a safe, comfortable and unique sailing experience in Sandy Bay. Appledore III has a full liquor license with a cash bar serving a variety of beverages.

Reservations are not required, but are strongly recommended on summer weekends and for sunset cruises. Call to let us know when you want to come and how many people are in your party. We will hold reservations until fifteen minutes before sailing.

There is a marine head (restroom) on board. It is below decks, accessed by descending a ladder, so persons with limited mobility may wish to use public facilities available locally, prior to boarding.

Minimum of eight, maximum of twenty-five passengers total for a trip.

Appledore III is also available for private charters, group outings, parties and special events. Please contact us for further information.

Don’t forget to visit our Ship’s Store before or after your trip. Take part of the memory away with you!
