The weather is going to be warm soon and that means it’s time to plan for more outdoor adventures. Over the years we’ve given you lots of different options for enjoying overnights in Maine, but this one has to be one of our absolute favorites. When most people refer to “being on the water” they mean a hotel near the beach. But this houseboat takes the phrase to a whole new level!
To get up-close-and-personal with the waters of Maine you’re going to want to head to Badgers Island Marina in Kittery.

Speaking of the living room, it’s so large you might forget that you’re actual on the water.

And the many windows make for an airy and light interior. Not at all what you might expect from living aboard a boat.

The kitchen, or “galley” as it’s called on a boat, has a refrigerator, sink, gas stovetop and convection oven as well as a Keurig coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans and a full set of utensils. You can be fairly self-sufficient here.

There’s also a full bathroom, or a “head” as it’s called on a boat, with a toilet and shower.

And there’s plenty of outdoor space for enjoying warm Maine nights.

Badgers Island Marina is located at 4 Island Ave., Kittery, Maine. To book yourself a few nights on this unique houseboat, click here. Each night will run you about $300, but when you consider that most of your fun can be had right on the boat and that you can prepare all your meals here, it’s clear that this is a great deal.
