Can I get provisioning delivered to Camden or to Penobscot Bay anchorages?+
Yes. Camden suppliers handle quayside delivery to the marina and tender delivery to yachts anchored in Penobscot Bay and onward toward Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park (the principal Maine cruising grounds). Same-day on fresh items; 24 to 48 hours on full provisioning.
What Maine specialties should I order?+

When is the best time to charter in Maine?+
The Maine yachting season runs June through September — short and intense. Peak weeks are mid-July through late August. The Maine summer weather is cool and bright but the season is markedly shorter than the southern New England or Mid-Atlantic seasons. Many charters combine Maine with Newport and the broader New England summer circuit.
