Island Romance
Our popular party boat, the Island Romance is a familiar sight on Casco Bay with its open upper deck fitted with a jaunty canopy over the stern. There are benches for seating, and tables can be set up for a buffet and bar service on the enclosed lower level. Bands love to play on the upper deck. Depending on the event, the Island Romance can comfortably accommodate 150-175 people.
