She is a classic Downeast Picnic boat and is a comfortable cocktail cruiser.
Private charters could be anything from a couple wanting to cruise to one of the nearby island restaurants for an anniversary dinner and then a cruise back under the stars, or a couple who wants to elope and get married by the captain with a few friends to witness – your imagination is the limit! We can recommend catering as well.
Some of the many incredible island restaurants we can take you to by boat are Crown Jewel on Great Diamond Island, The Dolphin Marina & Restaurant or Iris Eats in Harpswell, and Island Lobster Company on Peaks Island.
