Peaks Island and the nearby archipelago of islands provide us with protected waterways, short but lively crossings, and spectacular wildlife. We love to take paddlers out to the lighthouses, open ocean, and dramatic cliffs nearby. A short and scenic ferry ride from downtown Portland, Maine. We’ve been operating for nearly 20 years on Peaks Island because of the opportunities it offers to truly experience the Maine coast. About half of our guests every year are repeat customers. Find out why!
