Private Charters

Climb aboard one of our elegantly appointed vessels for a tour of the beautiful Boothbay Harbor Region. We have two boats: a 30-foot lobster yacht built right here on Southport that accommodates 6 guests, and a beautiful 55-foot wooden schooner that also can accommodate 6 guests.

Our captain is licensed by the US Coast Guard for carrying passengers.

Bring a picnic and eat aboard, travel by water to a seaside restaurant, or just enjoy some snacks and beverages on board!  Seeing the Boothbay Region from the sea is a unique perspective that you will not soon forget!  So many great excursions to share with your family or your guests!  During your charter we provide soft drinks and some snacks at no additional charge. We cannot serve alcoholic drinks, but you are welcome to bring your own: we always have cups and ice!! The typical charter is 2 hours, which is the minimum. However, it is not uncommon to stay out longer!

Avelinda is a great Southport 30 powerboat built right here in the Boothbay Harbor Region in 1996. 

​

The boat is rugged and seaworthy in any weather condition. She is also fast. She is well-appointed with comfortable seating for up to 6 guests. There is a toilet (head) on board!

Schooner Valora

VALORA.jpeg

VALORA was designed and built in 2018 by local master boatbuilder David Stimson. Her design is based on the amazing traditional sharpie designs of Commodore Ralph Munroe.  Her sail-carrying power relies on an 800-lb centerboard and 10,000 lbs of inside ballast. She is fast and stable.

​

She has a great reputation as a amazing charter platform from her time operating out of Martha's Vineyard. In May of 2023 we purchased this great boat and sailed from Martha’s Vineyard to our homeport of Boothbay Harbor, Maine. 


Valora can seat up to 6 passengers comfortably and has a head onboard.
