Dark Harbor Boat Yard

Quietly situated on 700 Acre Island on Penobscot Bay, Dark Harbor Boat Yard offers safe anchorage within Cradle Cove. Visitors can take advantage of our facilities or relax onboard, watching spectacular sunrises over Islesboro. During July and August, classic Dark Harbor 20 sailboats can be seen racing on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

700 Acre Island can only be reached by boat; however, Dark Harbor Boat Yard is only a short distance from the Islesboro Ferry Terminal. Arrangements are frequently made to pick up our customers at Islesboro and bring them to Dark Harbor Boat Yard where we offer gas, diesel, water, and ice at the dock. We have been told that our block ice is the best ice on Penobscot Bay. Our office facility offers a chandlery, showers, laundry, and head. We can complete most gas and diesel repairs and offer boat storage and maintenance.
