For all the times I've been to nearby Boothbay Harbor over the years, I can't believe I missed this beautiful, treasured gem of a museum piece (until now). Comfy, cozy, spotlessly clean and impeccably preserved, the Ship Ahoy is what motels used to be: You can feel the history. The friendly proprietor Jim will fill you in on all the... More

Nice place to stay if you are looking for a great deal. Clean rooms, wonderful view, great location. Management was friendly and helpful. As others said, not a lot of extra amenities like shampoo etc, but not something I count on anyway. The room and linens were clean. The pool was also nice and clean, the kids enjoyed it!

The toilet seat was very floppy and the bathroom facet was not screwed down properly. The beds not so comfortable. We loved the location... More

My best friend and I made a supr of the moment trip to Maine when we found out our Labor Day trip to New Orleans was cancelled due to a tropical storm. We didnt know anything about Maine but we saw Boothbay Harbor on a map and saw a review of the Ship Ahoy online and decided thats were we... More

The rooms seem to not have been renovated since 1960 and the beds could be more comfortable. That's the bad news. The good/great news is that the views are about as good as it gets and the value is spectacular. They have in-season rates between $59. and $79/night depending on the view that you want to wake up to. Two... More

Very nice place on Southport Island in Maine. Love the quiet of not being right in town of Boothbay. View was beautiful and room nice and clean.
