Northeast Harbor
Northeast Harbor is one of Maine’s major yachting centers. Still reflecting its history as the playground of affluent society, the harbor has the elegant Asticou Inn and a wonderful armada of pleasure craft, with a working fleet of lobsterboats mixed in. The best large harbor in the Mount Desert area, Northeast makes it very easy for the yachtsman: services are concentrated on the waterfront, stores deliver, and the town is water-oriented. This is the homeport of the missionary vessel Sunbeam V, affectionately dubbed by some as “God’s tugboat,” which brings religious services and practical help to many of the isolated islands of the coast. The ferry to the Cranberry Islands operates from here, and so do several natural-history and whale-watching boats.
