F/V Nor'easter is a Kennebunk, Maine-based commercial charter boat offering purpose-driven sea experiences along the southern Maine coast. The Nor'easter operates a range of small-group and private charters that include memorial ash scatterings, sunset cruises to Perkins Cove, and full-day deep sea fishing trips. Each offering is conducted from the vessel with attention to safety, respect, and local maritime regulations.
For families choosing an ash scattering, the crew provides customizable ceremony options that allow readings, memory-sharing, and a dignified scattering in open water. The sunset cruises depart from Kennebunk and sail to picturesque Perkins Cove for dining, shopping, and shoreline views, with limited seating to maintain an intimate atmosphere. Private charter options are available for sunset runs or exclusive group outings.
Deep sea fishing trips run as eight-hour private charters up to twenty-four guests and focus on jigging for ground fish roughly twenty miles offshore. The Nor'easter supplies fishing gear for these trips; guests are invited to bring food and beverages. Safety briefings, lifejackets, and experienced handling of the vessel accompany each outing.
F/V Nor'easter emphasizes clear communication, third-party compliance with relevant harbor rules, and straightforward booking for private and group trips. The business serves locals and visitors seeking a respectful sea burial, a scenic Perkins Cove sunset, or an extended offshore fishing experience from Kennebunk. Bookings are available for scheduled public cruises and for private charters tailored to group size. The crew prioritizes safety, clear communication, and respectful handling for memorials, sightseeing, and extended fishing trips from Kennebunk harbor.
