When the Atlantic wind kicks up, the calm harbor at Stonington, Maine, is stacked up with commercial boats. Fishing and lobstering is an enduring way of life in New England. Despite the underwater obstacles, this haven remains a wise choice with quick access to fine catches either through Penobscot Bay to the west or Jericho Bay to the east.
Stonington harbor's dock space is limited, and some boaters choose to let their craft swing on an anchor or tie up to mooring buoys at Staple Point. Occasionally there is time to play and the big boys show off the raw power of their vessels in the lobster boat races. Whether it's a picturesque scenery, a seafood feast or a charter fishing trip, Stonington is fun!
