Great customer service! We went to Monhegan Island for the day and had a wonderful experience. Captain was very knowledgeable and made us very comfortable!

I always travel Hardy Boat when going to the islands and birding. Great boat line. Great staff. No Boothbay traffic and a quicker trip to Monhegan Island, giving you more time on the island.
