    What a wonderful public landing!! Pier and floats well kept. Staff on site to monitor radio and catch lines, and be generally helpful and nice. Angled T-heads seem to be for overnight dockage or smaller cruise ships.

    Came in 2x for pumpout and water during our time in Penobscot Bay area. Water is $3 per day. First 2 hrs on dock is free. Dinghy dock says $5 per day didn't collect. One launch through Yacht Club is based at the landing.
    $10 per person each way. A mooring through the club is ~$40 and includes unlimited launch. Easy walk to Hill's seafood. Would come here again in an instant.

    The quieter southern end of the harbor is a bit more distant from ferry wakes and commercial traffic. Can hear seals barking at night. Good holding in mud. Dinghy to public landing.
    Reasonable wind protection from prevailing S-SW winds.

    Anchor to the east of the mooring field at this location. Expect fishing vessel traffic on some days, and an active coast guard station. This location is adjacent to ferry route. Also consider the quieter seal ledge anchorage to the southwest.
