About the Area

Historically a significant ship building port, Brewer South Freeport, today, is home to both pleasure craft and commercial lobster boats. This sheltered harbor offers easy access to some of Maine's most beautiful and fertile cruising grounds. Hundreds of islands offer endless places to anchor and explore. In fact, Casco Bay's archipelago is often referred to as the Calendar Islands, since an English surveyor, while attempting to chart the region, once reported "there are as many islands as there are days in a year."

When approaching Brewer South Freeport Marine from sea, a stone castle overlooking the river welcomes sailors to the harbor; ahead, off the port bow, is a lunch shack and lobster pound and, just up river, is Brewer South Freeport Marine. Quaint and historic South Freeport village beckons sailors ashore to stretch and enjoy a walk to the post office and village store, while L.L. Bean, the famous outdoor retailer, and Freeport's many stores and restaurants are just a cab ride away.

With Portland's International Jetport and Interstate 95 easily accessible, Brewer South Freeport Marine is the perfect place to visit, whether it be a final destination, an opportunity to access the kind of professional service Brewer Yacht Yards is famous for, or simply a place for guests and crew to rendezvous before heading Down East for more world class cruising.
