📝 MagicTime Captain’s Notes
After a smooth morning preparing MagicTime, we cast off from Safe Harbor Marina in New Castle and began our short hop to Kennebunkport, Maine—a favorite on our summer charter itinerary.
Conditions were near perfect for a coastal cruise. Skies were hazy but bright, with light winds and gentle swells, making for a relaxing afternoon on the water.
We’re looking forward to two days docked at Chick’s Marina, with highlights including:
- Dinner at the acclaimed Earth at Hidden Pond (Visit Hidden Pond) 🌿
- A second night at the romantic Cape Arundel Inn & Resort (capearundelinn.com) 🌊
- Leisure walks with Ivy along Dock Square and the waterfront boardwalk 🐾
- Meeting Rudder, Chick’s Marina local pup 🐾 (Chick’s Marina)
We highly recommend a Kennebunkport yacht charter for anyone seeking New England charm, boutique shopping, and destination dining.
