Provisioning


Provisioning is a challenge for cruising sailboats.

  • Over the last 20 years, grocery stores have gotten larger and moved out of harbor areas to more suburban locations. This leaves very few where one can just walk from a dinghy landing to provision and easily carry items back to the boat.
  • Maine and its variety of harbors and anchorages add additional challenges for the short-term visiting cruiser.
  • Provisioning opportunities based on the personal experience of many cruisers are provided in the two Tables below: One by our Cruise Ports of Call and another covering the mid-cost Maine area.
  • There is public transportation available in Boothbay Harbor and at Somes Sound, MDI.
  • Uber is available in some places - but a bit thin.
  • Taxis are usually an option.
