A 27-foot center console built for comfort and a smooth, stable ride. Plenty of seating and room to relax, plus the shallow-water ability to reach the best sandbars and beaches. Whether it's a quick run to a waterfront restaurant or a slow afternoon at anchor, the trip is as good as the destination.

THE BOAT

Captain Craig McLaren

I grew up in a boating family in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, exploring Casco Bay as a teenager. I've owned boats for 35 years and have run the Merrimack River and the North Shore for three decades.

Today I'm a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain (OUPV "Six Pack"), splitting my year between the North Shore and the Gulf waters of Anna Maria Island. I'd love to show your group the views that are best seen from the water.
