Windsong: A Unique Harborside Experience on a 42-Foot Ketch

Cottage Connection is proud to offer what may be the most unique vacation rental experience in our 33-year history. We invite you to experience the beauty and wonder of life on the water in Boothbay Harbor by staying aboard Windsong, a 42-foot ketch sailboat. Best of all, no boating experience is required—this vessel is securely docked at a vibrant marina, staying "right heah" so you can enjoy the nautical lifestyle with all the comforts of a seaside cottage.

Charming Features
Stationary Harborside Living: Enjoy a front-row seat to the harbor's activity from the comfort of your boat. Windsong is securely moored at Carousel Marina, offering a close-up view of the water and the surrounding fleet.
Marina Amenities: Your stay includes access to the marina's facilities, including a restaurant and bar, laundry, and showers. For a fun local experience, you can even hop on the water taxi!
Comfort on the Water: Relax in air-conditioned comfort surrounded by beautiful wooden decks, bulkheads, and ceilings with plenty of headroom.
Outdoor Deck Space: The aft deck features teak chairs and an on-the-rail propane grill, making it the perfect spot for sunset cocktails and dinner with a view.
Modern Salon: The interior "salon" serves as your living and dining area, complete with cushioned seating, a table for dining or puzzles, a Smart TV, and Wi-Fi.
Walk-to-Town: Located at the head of Boothbay Harbor, you are just an easy walk away from the town's diverse shops, restaurants, and boat excursions.

NOTE: To ensure safety and the best possible experience, Windsong is not suitable for children under 12. Please note that while the boat has toilets (heads), the marina's shower house provides the most spacious and comfortable experience.
