Camden, Rockland & Rockport | Maine

With its myriad of harbors, coves and islets, Penobscot Bay offers what Maine cruising is all about. Located at the northwest corner is the quiet and beautiful town of Belfast. With the recent opening of a first class marina and shipyard, it is a prime cruising destination, away from overwhelming summer crowds. First class restaurants and a great co-op for provisioning can be found within walking distance from the marina. Heading south is Camden, a truly picture-perfect New England village nestled along the west side of Penobscot Bay. Built around the long and narrow harbor, the village is easy to explore on foot, with plenty of boutiques, galleries and restaurants all close by. Provisioning is also quite good, with a choice of upscale gourmet stores and a popular farmer’s market. Rockport, located south of Camden in one of the region’s most charming and scenic protected coves, is home to a summer artist colony. Nearby is Rockland, a hub of boating activity for Lower Penobscot Bay, offering excellent anchorage and home to first class marinas. Thomaston and Tenants Harbor also offer very pleasant cruising stops.

Unfortuntaley we decided not to proceed with publishing the guide book this year due to COVID19.  Normally we go to print with the book mid-May and COVID was in full force by then.  We continue to work on our website to keep it updated and we look forward to a better 2021! 

Thank you!

We welcome Fall to Thomaston and Camden, Maine. It was a fantastic summer! The Camden Classics Cup and Owners' Reunion were certainly highlights. Our docks were full and summer refit work was brisk.   Amidst it all, we began construction on a project. We have been collaborating with Paul Waring and Bob Stephens for years, and are excited to work on our first new construction project together. The owner chose Lyman-Morse as the builder for our expertise in systems engineering and installation plus our attention to detail and responsiveness to owners' requests.
