Oceanfront Comfort at Tugboat Inn, Boothbay Harbor

The Crow's Nest suite features a king bed, jetted bathtub, living room, and a large private deck with harbor views.
The Tugboat Inn Marina offers sheltered dockage for various boat sizes, accommodating slips up to 100 feet. With 15 moorings available, including deep-water options, the marina ensures secure docking. Nearby conveniences include ice, showers, and a short walk to local shops and galleries.
Location and Activities
Situated in downtown Boothbay Harbor, the Tugboat Inn is near local events year-round. Guests can explore the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens or enjoy scenic cruises, kayak rentals, and hiking trails. Just a short walk away, local shops and galleries provide plenty of opportunities for exploration.
Pet-Friendly Amenities
The Tugboat Inn accommodates pets in select guest rooms, enhancing the experience for families traveling with dogs. Guests are encouraged to keep pets leashed while on-site to ensure comfort for all visitors. The presence of semi-private balconies allows for a relaxed outdoor environment.
“This harborside inn has a distinctive history, centered on the original tugboat 'Maine' that gives the property its name. I was intrigued by the rooftop deck-I imagine the views from there, especially while dining, are exceptional. The waterfront location and marina access are definite advantages for exploring Boothbay Harbor by sea.”
