Why You Will Love Sailing in Maine
The Views are Amazing
With more coastline than California, Maine is one of the best places in the country to explore by water. As you sail along the coast, you’ll see dazzling lighthouses perched high atop islands, dramatic granite cliffs jutting into the ocean, seals basking in the sun, and quaint fishing villages where fishermen are bringing in the day’s fresh catch. Cruise through beautiful bays and calm harbors until you find the perfect spot to stop and explore for a while.
There Are Excellent Spots to Dock
One of the best places to pick up a mooring during your Mid Coast Maine sailing adventure is Five Islands. This peaceful fishing village features a yacht club, town docks, and one of New England’s best lobster shacks, Five Islands Lobster Co. Five Islands is the perfect spot to stop for lunch while you take in views of one of Maine’s prettiest harbors!
Another great stop is Robinhood Cove. The Robinhood Marina offers 40 boat slips and 70 moorings for rent as well as dockhands to help out, a repair service, a gazebo, and more. You can enjoy a drink or bite to eat on the outside deck of the Anchor Bar and Grill.
You Can Drop Anchor in the Harmon Harbor
South of Five Islands is Harmon’s Harbor, a picturesque bay tucked within the coast and home to our waterfront Inn. As you sail into the bay, you can drop anchor in Harmon’s Harbor and step onto the floating dock at Grey Havens Inn. Head up to our restaurant, Blue, for one of the best meals in Georgetown. Afterward, unwind in one of our cozy guest rooms when you book your stay with us.
