When on the coast of Maine, stay on a boat! The boat, the marina, and Southwest Harbor were all wonderful and made the weekend that much more special. Property management and the marina staff were responsive, friendly, and helpful. The boat was clean and has all the basics. Check in and out was easy. We will stay here again when we come back.

Great option instead of Hotel
I saw this boat and had to stay. It didnt disappoint. The cabin is a bit small, but the outdoor deck more than makes up for it. Take the opportunity to gaze at the stars at night.

Nice boat but the bathroom floor was constantly wet. I would stay there again but only with assurances the bathroom leak had been fixed.

First time in Maine
We enjoyed our two-night stay on the boat at Southwest. My husband was a little tall at 6’2”, but our two Boston Terriers and myself were fine. There was a lovely outdoor seating are where we spent most of our time. Sleeping was very cozy in the cabin.
