Getting here
Come along for a ride on the mailboat Katherine!
The Katherine is a 36 foot Coast Guard inspected wooden lobster boat that was converted to carry up to 20 passengers. Our spectacular 2 hour round trip tour follows a summer postal route, delivering mail and passengers to several island throughout Penobscot Bay. You may see harbor seals, sea birds, eagles and/or porpoises as well as fisherman, sailors and merry island folk. Sail away from the mainland routine and experience the beauty of the coast of Maine. The Katherine is available for chartered trips as well as our regularly scheduled mail route.
