If you will be in the neighborhood for a week or more and know well in advance that you are coming, we recommend staying at one of the Keyes Cottages, located on Lowell Cove at Orrs Island, ME. Click the view from the cottages, at the left, for more information.

If you are here for a shorter stay or arriving on short notice, we recommend staying at the Bailey Island Motel, located on the north end of Bailey Island, ME. For more information on that establishment, click on the view from the motel, to the right.

For the best in Maine seafood we recommend Cook's Lobster House. We will drop you off there at the end of each cruise so you can catch lunch or dinner before heading out to wherever it is that you go next. For more information, click on the view of Cook's waterfront, to the left.

We provide an opportunity for you to visit remotely, animals that are not conveniently brought to your house. There is a company from New Hampshire called "Wildlife Encounters" that provides wonderful opportunity to see many exotic animals at your school, business or home. Visit their website by clicking on the image at the right. They will bring animal exhibits to you for school or after-school programs, preschools, birthday parties or whatever.

Over in West Boothbay Harbor there is an excellent marine wildlife aquarium. It is operated by the Maine Department of Marine Resources and provides up-close and personal acquaintance with many of the marine animals found in the Gulf of Maine. You may even handle some of the animals in their touch-tanks. Click on the image at the left for their website.
