THE EQUINOX DETAILS:
The Equinox is a bright blue, 40 ft. lobster boat style private charter passenger boat that ferries up to 20 individuals comfortably and safely to North Haven island, 12 miles off the coast of Rockland. The trip typically takes about 45-50 minutes each way, during which guests can enjoy coastal views, sea life, stargazing, and more.
There is a $20 parking fee if you choose to park in the marina parking lot. The parking area is the elevated lot next to the gray metal building located at 127 Tillson Avenue #100, Rockland, ME 04841. Please pay the Captain to prevent your vehicle from being towed. There is ample free parking in downtown Rockland, but please allow yourselves sufficient time to walk to the marina.

No animals, please.
Smoking and consumption of intoxicants while aboard the boat is strictly prohibited. Passengers in violation will be asked to disembark at the nearest port.
DEPARTURE FROM ROCKLAND:
The Equinox departs the marina at 4pm SHARP. Please arrive well ahead of time to find parking and the boat.
REQUIRED FITNESS LEVEL:
To access the boat, passengers must be able to walk from the parking lot, down the boat ramp, across the dock (can be slightly wobbly/unstable), and descend into the boat via two steep steps. Upon arrival in North Haven, you will disembark in a similar fashion and walk 3-5 minutes up a short, steep hill to the barn. Please let us know if you anticipate needing assistance.
WEATHER PREPAREDNESS:
The crossing is approximately 50 minutes, and seas can be rolly, requiring both balance and a degree of heartiness. On a nice evening it may be warm, even in the shade. If it is windy or raining, some inside seating is available, however, passengers are expected to come prepared with appropriate weather gear.
