The place is beautiful now. The new management is obviously invested in making this a first class Maine resort. The pre arrival mooring instructions and assignment were excellent and included a photograph of the mooring field with labeled moorings. Nice people. Nice discount on food. Beautiful grounds. We’ll be back for a longer stay next season.

Very nice. It appears Sebasco Estates had all new mooring balls and hardware, which made it easier to pick up the mooring.

One year later, we had a great experience! Bjorn the dock hand/ launch driver/ mooring keeper, was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. He deserves 6 stars!! Tatum, our server was also exceptional. Thanks! Lovely place, food good! The poor dock hands hadn’t been trained. Mooring assignment was unavailable. Restaurant unexpectedly closed just as we were heading in for dinner. Apparently with the new ownership there are some gaps , or should I say “gapping holes” in the functionality of services. They are trying but need to up their game to make it as nice , and reliable,,as it used to be. Also no launch service anymore 🤔. Be careful!

Excellent. Mooring was easy to spot and staff were prompt in answering our hails on the radio. We used our dinghy to go to shore and were able to easily tie up to the dock. The SHR Launch was very quick to pick up other guests. Grounds and facilities are fantastic and Ledges Pub was a treat!

Everything about Sebasco is back to being first class. They within minutes acknowledged my request for a mooring on Dockwa. When I entered the harbor they acknowledged my radio call immediately. The moorings are new and clean. The waterfront staff is friendly, responsive, and well trained. We had trouble with our dinghy motor but the launch runs from 8 to 8. The food at the Ledges Pub was very good . Sebasco is back to being one of our favorite places to go.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Sebasco Harbor Resort! Hugh and the entire dock crew are very accommodating and super friendly. The resort welcomes it’s Marine guests ashore and we were delighted to use the big swimming pool and also play some golf & other games. We ended up spending three nights on the mooring and totally enjoyed the very affordable and delicious dining experience in the restaurant as well. A highly recommended stop when you are cruising the Maine Coast!

I see there is new management at Sebasco and our visit went much better than a year ago. The boat shuttle service is back, 8a to 8p. Restaurant has good food, don't forget to tell them you have a mooring for the night, where you will get 15% off your bill. They also have a nice pool to swim in, place to get morning breakfast, showers, golf course, etc. We enjoyed our stay at Sebasco!

Thank you for your kind words. We try very hard to provide a great experience for visiting boaters. Please come again. Capt. Phil

It is great to have Sebasco Resort moorings and launch service back fully up and running. What's not to like: great sailing destination, moorings in a scenic harbor, launch 8-8, water & gas (no diesel), and full access to the resort amenities - bar, restaurant, saltwater pool. We came for 2 nights on our cruise, and stayed for 6.

Great weekend at Sebasco. Mooring pickup was easy, launch service was reliable and quick, and the amenities ashore were great. Food was better than anticipated. Didn't spend the night on the boat, so can't comment about evening harbor conditions. Thinking we will be back here soon!

Sebasco is making an all out effort to cater to visiting boaters. There is full access to the resort (bikes, tennis courts, fitness center, pool, etc.), a nice restaurant and launch service. The dock hands are well trained and although launch service is until 2000, the launch operators will take care of you if running late. The harbor was easy to enter and moorings were well marked.

Our first year, 2022 was great. This year, not so great. There is no launch, no water at the dock, and no ice. An attendant appears on an irregular schedule, making it difficult to get fuel. Our mooring assignment thru Dockwa was not acceptable but the staff was not willing to change the assignment -- even though there are at least a dozen empty moorings. Very disappointing. Update: thanks to two very special dock attendants, Chris and Bjorn, the season ended on a much better note.

This is such a nice place and have always enjoyed it. Unfortunately, new resort resort owners, Giri Hotel group, have decided to turn their back on the boating community by stopping launch services to the resort. It was difficult to get in the limited dock space to drop off guests so the captain could moor the boat and row in.

Great harbor. Often rolly, very calm this am. Did not answer channel 09, so entry level as confusing. Another boater with our group responded and said to pick up any red mooring. They also could not get anyone on 09. We notified the rest of our sailing club boats. Lack of launch service was an issue for us, but other club members took us ashore. The reservations desk for the resort lodging is as very helpful. He assured us they had enough moorings for our Dockwa group. The pub restaurant was as very accommodating. Delicious food. Overall experience of a as very good, just understaffed with one dock hand.

I’ve visited Sebasco Resort by boat over the past 46 years and it is indeed a very special place. I was disappointed this year however, due to a lack of launch service . . . for the very first time ever! In recent years we’ve stayed ashore and dined at their restaurants. Boaters DO add to Sebasco’s revenue, so I’m hoping they will reinstate this valuable service.

No pump out, no launch, no diesel, overall services much diminished from other years. The harbor and moorings have always been an afterthought for the resort, but now boaters are barely on their adar. The showers are not kept up, broken door, no AC, windows not openable so very humid and unpleasant place to take a shower, "health club" building with showers is not attended. Restaurant was pleasant. Food spicy. No more large dining room upstairs, just bar and outside seating.

Years of family ownership has been replaced by giri corp with many changes. Nice new pool for example . The waterfront is currently neglected, no ice or launch service, so you must have a dingy to reach shore. A great place for kids. The restaurant has a fairly limited menu and somewhat varied hours.

They have abandoned their waterfront except for mooring balls. No water available no pump outs no more tender service. Not sure why anyone would pay to stay on their moorings. Bar has sketchy hours breakfast was below avg. people were very friendly and helpful tho.

Sebasco Harbor Resort has long been a favorite place to moor. This year (June 2923) differed. The mooring was fine and comfortable, but there was no launch service, the dock had no attendent, the main desk did not help, and they never sent (via Dockwa) the mooring number. We grabbed what we wanted and were fortunate that there were ample moorings. Others reported the same. This can be a geeat place to have a meal, swim in a huge salt water pool (closed this year), shower, and take a walk. Bring a dingy if you want to go ashore. Hope that the water services return to normal in 2024.

We got a mooring. $69 was a little high, and it was rolly but it was well marked and in good condition. We didn’t know there was a launch, found out after we dinghied in. The services are good, launch, pump out, gas (no diesel) and the restaurant was good. Would be 5 stars if they sent out info in advance that there was a launch and other things, like other marinas do. Overall very good.

No hot water in fitness center shower. Launch service spotty. I realize it’s the end of the season but expected at least the basics.

Marina Response:
We are sorry about your experience with the lack of hot water. We will certainly look into the problem. As far as the Launch/Dock service is concerned, we have never had daily service after Labor Day. We have, however, offered Limited service on the 2 weekends following Labor Day if business and weather permit. Our Limited services are clearly indicated on the Dockwa reservation page. We have also been impacted by the coastwise labor shortage. We are sorry that your stay in our harbor was not up to your expectations or that you got bad info about our services. Our summer dock/launch staff works very hard during regular season hours and we are proud of their performance. We hope that you will give us another chance next season. Regards.

Sebasco Harbor is one of the best resorts on the coast of Maine and a perfect spot to pick up a mooring! The Smith family has long provided not only a beautiful resort, but all staff are more than welcoming and accomodating. Our family, (the Tim Hussey family) has enjoyed both pleasure and business activities at Sebasco and have never left disappointed. Thank you to the Smith family for providing us with such a treat and congratulations on over 90 years of success!

We got good directions to our mooring by calling on Channel 09. The launch service was prompt when we requested it. We spent a little time ashore exploring the resort but the weather didn’t support using any outdoor facilities. There was only one restaurant open - probably due to COVID-related staffing issues. The food in the open Pub was very good.
