Boating in Maine
True Mainers say the best way to see Maine is from the water. Cruising the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine offers the best views of shore. Touring Maine's vast coast by boat, you can see everything from sandy beaches and towering lighthouses on rocky cliffs to remote islands and sandy secluded beaches. You can visit bustling harbors with full service marinas or quiet inlets where seals sun themselves on the rocks. A great Maine vacation would include touring the coast of Maine, spending the night at a hotel marina in a pretty harbor.
For coastal touring tips, view our guides to: Kennebunkport, Christmas Cove, Robinhood Cove and Boothbay Harbor.
Maine is a boaters' paradise. You can spend the day at sea on a chartered sailboat or schooner. Hop aboard a Lobster Boat Tour and learn to haul lobster traps from a Maine fisherman. Scenic lighthouse boat tours are the best way to see these landmark beacons as sailors did a century ago. An evening cocktail cruise aboard a schooner or windjammer, watching the sun set under sail, is the perfect end to a day. If you wish to spend a week on a yacht or a tall ship, there are sailing tours and trips out of Portland's Casco Bay, Boothbay, Penobscot Bay via Rockport and Camden, and Bar Harbor.
Maine is renowned for its whitewater rafting. The Forks of Maine is the epicenter for rafting companies, whether you want to raft Class 5 rapids or learn to raft as a first timer. Maine's rivers like the Kennebec are famous for their scenery, canoeing, kayaking and rafting. Tour companies rent canoes and kayaks and offer overnight river trips. Maine guides are often available to provide recommendations or to accompany you on your excursion.
Maine's freshwater lakes, Moosehead and Sebago being the largest, are crystal clean and clear. Pleasure boaters will find countless lakes and ponds to explore, ideal for water sports like water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing in summertime. Swimming in Maine's lakes is a refreshing treat in summer. These same lakes are frozen over in winter and host some of the best ice fishing in the country and big ice fishing derbies in January and February. Of course Maine is a fishermans haven, saltwater fishing or fly fishing for salmon and trout - it's all here waiting for you (and your waders).
Cruiseships visit Maine's large ports too. Portland and Bar Harbor are both popular ports for major cruise ships including Royal Carribean, Princess, Nova Star and Carnival.
