The Boothbay Harbor region's waterfront offers visitors a glimpse into seafaring history and an array of nautical activities on the Maine coast. With a strong shipbuilding and fishing heritage, the harbor shelters a wide variety of boats.
River cruises, ocean cruises, whale watches, sailing and deep-sea fishing trips leave local piers daily and vary in length from 1 hour to an entire day. The Balmy Days II makes day trips to Monhegan Island late May to early October; phone (207) 633-2284 or (800) 298-2284.
In late June antique boats and a parade are part of the Windjammer Days celebration. The Fall Foliage Festival, featuring craft displays and train rides, is held early to mid-October.
