Historic Sailors Landing is a stunning wedding venue in Barters Island, Maine. It is perfect for a destination wedding. It can accommodate a wedding party and family of up to 17 persons near the many activities in popular Boothbay. Just an hour from Portland airport, this luxurious property is located on eight acres of rolling lawns and woodland paths along 1250 feet of rugged Maine waterfront that lead to a spectacular point overlooking the Sheepscot River. The point can be an intimate ceremony spot, offering dramatic backdrops for photoshoots. You can also choose to celebrate on the lawns overlooking the water in a gorgeous tent that can be provided to house the reception. The main house is perfect for a pre-wedding party in the nautical decorated boat house right over the water. Let your imagination run wild when planning a fun weekend event - biking, diving, kayaking, and sailing. Boats can come up to Sailor Landing waterfront, accessed through a hundred-year-old arched cedar grove with stairs leading down to the dock. Sailors Landing has excellent waterfront docking for arriving guests, and there is further boat access with two moorings. The lawns have plenty of room for tents that can host up to 100 persons. A second tent is also available. Every room in the main house has a water view. The main house is a rambling farmhouse with five water-view bedrooms and four bathrooms, perfect for the wedding party. The downstairs bedroom, with a queen bed and bath, is ideal for anyone who is a little less mobile. Cozy sitting areas encourage intimate conversation. There are two kitchens, an eat-in breakfast kitchen, and the great room kitchen where you can dine overlooking the harbor and neighboring islands. The large deck with a barbecue is perfect for relaxed meals and sunset cocktails.
There are further rustic accommodations for five in the bunkhouse, mere steps from the residence. The Boothbay Harbor area offers many activities – biking, hiking, kayaking, and the Maine Coastal Botanical Gardens, the largest in New England. A lobster bake can be arranged at Sailors Landing if desired. Schooner cruises, cocktail music cruises, and more are available in this prime vacation resort. Sailors Landing is an exclusive, private, home-like setting. Email: sailorslanding@catherinelatta.com
