Fisherman Island attracts an unusual variety of birds. Many families of seals live on two smaller islands.

There is Boothbay nearby, the largest boating harbor north of Boston. The area takes its pride in a magnificent shoreline that wanders over protected sand beaches, secluded coves, rocky headlands, and crashing surf.

The island is located in 59 miles north of Portland, Maine.

Head for the island in the summertime, as it is probably the best time to take full advantage of Maine’s “100 harbors,“ ports, beaches, and the mountains and forests inland, though in autumn the state's quaint villages obtain a sepia tone.

First fly to Boston or Portland, Maine. Move to Boothbay Harbour, where the Skipper will await you. It will take only 15 minutes to get to Fisherman Island by boat.

There is a Gothic-style, natural stone home that is approx. 5,000 sq.ft. with seven stylish bedrooms, providing accommodation for a maximum of 14 guests.

Nearly all rooms have eastern and western exposures as well as inglenooks.

Lodging/bedrooms: Main house: 3 x king size; 2 x double; 1 x twin. The hut: 5 twin beds.

You may dine by the fireplace in the Great Room or enjoy breakfast and lunch on the terrace overlooking the pool. The chef’s plentiful meals offer the best vegetables and Maine fresh seafood.

Enjoy the sauna or steam room; swim and sun in and around the heated salt-water pool or on one of the two private beaches; observe hidden coves and lagoon; take boat excursions, fish, water sports, billiards, darts and board games, go bird-watching or seal and whale-watching.

Here you may also relish sailing, fishing, golf and tennis, and there are hiking trails in the Camden Hills State Park. Borthbay boasts of many restaurants, crafts and antiques shops.
