The Original Monhegan Mailboat Experience ...
transporting you through the waters of beautiful Muscongus Bay and enchanting Monhegan
Island. You'll embark in the charming village of Port
Clyde, at the
tip of the St. George peninsula.
Once passengers and freight are loaded on board, we steam out of
the harbor past Marshall Point lighthouse. As we follow our protected
route among pine-clad islands, we see birds of many varieties. Sometimes,
porpoises and small whales rise from the water just beyond our bow.
Our course usually takes us by lobstermen hauling their traps, schooners
gliding before the wind, and pleasure craft of every description.
On the return trip, we pass close to Seal Rock, where we often spot
entire families of seals frolicking in the water and basking in the
sun.
Maine businesses are often family affairs, and the Monhegan-Thomaston
Boat Line is no exception. From the time the Barstows took over the
mailboat, Jim and Judy's crew have included their children and their
extended families, as well as other invaluable staff members. We
all look forward to welcoming you aboard.
