They say the islands of Penobscot Bay rise from the sea like secrets waiting to be explored. Guests rarely come to stay in Rockland without partaking in some activity on what local sailors refer to as “ Pen Bay ”. Whether it’s an island hopping excursion or a sail aboard Maine ’s historic windjammers, the appeal of the Bay – Maine ’s largest – is undeniable. The bay is as much a part of the history of each inn and the town as it is a notable coastal landmark.

Penobscot Bay is approximately thirty miles long by thirty miles wide and provides protection from the open sea, making it a very popular sailing, pleasure boating, and sea kayaking destination. The bay’s numerous harbors, coves, estuaries, and islands offer solitude, plentiful opportunities to view bird and wildlife, and miles of coast to explore.
