Seguin Island

Location: Gulf of Maine
Mile Marker: Kennebec Rvr Mouth
Lat / Lon: N 43° 42.600' / W 069° 45.410'
Depth: 9-19 ft
Description: One large metal Coast Guard mooring might be available, but it will beat your boat in any surge. Several small mooring floats are available, compliments of the Friends of Seguin Island, but no one monitors use and it's first-come, first-served. Be prepared to turn and head back out if all the moorings are taken. Midday is the best time to attempt to pick one up, after boaters have taken a morning walk on the island and before the rest of the travelers arrive. There is not sufficient room to anchor.

You cannot anchor here. There are underwater cables. You need to take one of the handful of white moorings, all first-come-first-served. The island is great for exploring, with fantastic views. Normally the lighthouse is open for tours (except during pandemics, like 2020.) Protection is good from anything from East, South or West. North wouldn't be so good.

Its a great place to spend the night when a transit night mooring is needed. The island has volunteers during summer who live on the island and allow access to the lighthouse. There is only 3-4 moorings and anchoring is discouraged as the anchor will get fouled on all the cables and old gear from the past few hundred years. During the summer many motor boaters come out for a day and take up the moorings, but usually are gone by nightfall. The island rises to the west so its an early sunset from the cockpit, but the sunrises can be beautiful. The beach is a 3 minute row and pull the dingy up the sand.There are several trails to follow and in the fall the blackberries a plentiful. Its an easy trip from Casco bay and Muscongus bay
