We had a wonderful experience. It was beautiful and peaceful. Just what we were looking for.

Perfect space for 2 people, but still plenty of room for a family of four. Cosy and plenty of hot water. Different amazing view from every window. A little short on items to make a full meal for 4 but then not much room for cooking and besides restaurant to eat nearby is excellent. Bathroom was clean.

I have no complaints everything was wonderful!!

Fantastic experience.

Loved it. Very clean and had all the needed essentials. we were able to buy lobster right from the fishermen in the harbor. We saw lots of wild life and a seal popped up around the houseboat through out the day most every day. It was comfortable and we'd love to come back and stay again.

Staff was very friendly. Doug did an excellent job aquainting us with the boat's features. Boat was clean and comfortable. Saw seals, a shipwreck and more stars at night than we could imagine. Enjoyed kayaking, sailing and swimming.

This is the 6th time I have rented one of their boats and Illbe coming back. Saw so much wild life activity, great spot for visiting tows. Staff is excellent and very helpful. Boat is spacious and relaxing.

Great quiet location. Staff were very helpful. Use of the small boat to get to the house boat and explore the harbor and river was a great addition. We were lucky with perfect weather. Highly recommend for a weekend get away.

This was our 7th time on the houseboat and it never disappoints! Peace, tranquility, beauty, seas, spectacular sunrise/sunset and a restful time away! Can't wait to return!

Our Labor Day weekend aboard the Charles Andrew exceeded all expectations. The boat is new, well appointed and perfectly maintained, all amenities are as advertised. During the day we explored under power, paddle, sail. . . Evenings we enjoyed great dinner at the boatyard restaurant (with full bar), watched a movie aboard and did some reading. Kids had a blast boating, fishing, watching seals right from their berth, etc. most important, the boatyard staff are delightful people who bent over backwards to make sure that we were having a great time. We strongly recommend this venue if you are looking for a memorable vacation.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay on The Charles Andrew! It was a definite 'get away from it all' vaca and we relaxed and had some unique fun. We had our little boat to take us to 'shore' and drove the short distance to quaint downtown Bath for shopping and a few very nice meals. The whole area around the cove is beautiful, the weather was perfect and we were like kids on an adventure. Highly recommend it to all you work-alcoholics and local folks, as well!

Everything about this house boat was as it was described in the advertisement. The views were awesome.The staff very helpful. There was not anything missing. We were looking for a quiet getaway for our 22nd anniversary, and this was perfect.We cooked on the boat as well as ate at some of the area restaurants. Reid state park was nearby and the weather was great for a walk on the beach. We will definitely be making a return trip.

The views were beautiful; we were there later in the season so it was very peaceful. We did some excellent kyaking and explored Riggs Cove with the skif. We went ashore and walked around Reid State Park then went to dinner at a nearby Inn. Our cabin was bright and sunny, warm and comfortable. Everything was well appointed. The nights were nippy but the gas stoves kept us warm. We also enjoyed lounging the zero gravity chairs after kyaking. We had plenty of towels, hot water, and the shower had good pressure. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. In all, we could not have picked a better little get away. We have spread the word and hope many of our friends will also try this fun and fine adventure! Thanks Riggs Cove Rentals! Oh, and we enjoyed the "history" hut. I was looking at pictures of the area from so many time periods.

Our stay on the Charles Andrew was idyllic. The description of the houseboat (tugboat) was perfect, it was all it was described to be in the brochure. It was roomy enough, yet still had a cozy feel. Everything you could imagine needing or wanting on the boat was provided. It was very clean and in fact it appeared brand-new. The owner, managers and all the staff were " at your service" at all times. They were courteous, helpful and friendly. I have already recommended this property to numerous people and we plan to visit again next summer. The beauty of this harbor was you really didn't have to ever leave it, since 2 kayaks, a sailboat and the Osprey Restaurant were right there. I suggest you pack a stack of good reading, drive the skiff over to a local lobsterman to buy his catch and sit back to watch the harbor at various times of the day.

If what you seek is peace and down time this is the vacation for you. If you want for that fresh ocean smell, then look no more. Every night you slip into dusk to the cries of the hunting osprey. Everyday a lobster boat or two enters the cove a few hours after sunrise and go about their tasks. You can even buy your lobster directly from them. From the cove's bottom into your pot! Everything you need is on the boat from cooking pans/pots/utensils, glassware, dishes, linen and towels, AM/FM radio with Ipod connection, WX weather radio, and a DVD player for the movies you bring. The “put-put”, your small motorized skiff, connects you to the shore. Food shopping is only 10 miles away in Bath, so there is no need to byo like we did. Down the road 10 minutes away is the 5 Island lobster shack with fabulous sea food and fresh cooked lobsters. You can buy them to go then take them back to the boat all cooked and ready to eat. If it is the beach you crave, Reid state park is just down the road from 5 Island. We did a lot of nothing: sunning on the deck in the zero gravity chairs, midday naps, lobster boat watching, watching the seals and the osprey and even the leaping 3 foot sturgeons. We took the “put-put” out to explore the cove, you might like to use the two on board kayaks to go exploring. If you can handle a sailboat, there is one at the docks for your use. We stayed a week. We plan to return and perhaps stay longer. We went there stressed, we returned relaxed. What more could you want from a vacation?

Wake up with 360 degree views of the water. Explore the cove in the kayaks. BBQ on the water with a glass of wine. Play out in the cove on the skiff. Take the skiff in for dinner or to listen to a live band on Friday night. Buy lobster straight from the lobstermen and cook them onboard! Enjoy the beautiful sunsets from your houseboat. Listen to the fish hop out of water; see the seals swim by. Hop over to Booth Bay Harbor for a whale watch, or dinner, or shopping, etc. Kick back in the sun and relax, read, or do whatever your heart desires! This is a fabulously unique experience... the water, the sun, the salt air, the intermittent ocean breezes... all in such a beautiful location... it's real food for the soul. Andy and Warren were sweet and helpful, always a kind face possibly revealing the inevitable outcome of being part of such a wonderful environment and special situation. Oh, and add the deckhands and the restaurant staff to the list of warm and friendly. All of it together adds up to one very memorable and uniquely enjoyable vacation. Thanks for everything!

We had such a fabulous stay! My husband and I wanted to experience the Maine coast to celebrate – and recuperate from – my completion of a 2200 mile Appalachian Trail thru-hike. The Charles Andrew was exactly what the doctor ordered. Very luxurious, with every detail in place. It had everything you could want, including a media system, kayaks, it's own motor boat, fully equipped kitchen... We paddled around for hours, which a very nice change of pace for my tired legs. We ate like kings and even enjoyed a fresh lobster dinner on the deck. Weather was perfect the whole trip (late August), and on our last day we got to see a seal frolicking around behind the boat. All in all, just a perfect conclusion to my trek. I wish we could stay longer, but no worries – I’m already planning a trip back!

We were overjoyed with our stay on the Charles Andrew. All I can say is that it met our expectations above and beyond what we were led to believe. The employees of RobinHood Marina bend over backwards to make sure you are prepared to board and manage your boat from the time they load your luggage on board and comlete your orientation such that you can handle all the boat's many amenities. The craft was immaculate. It is loaded with all you need to enjoy the time of your life. All you need is your food. Everything else is provided on board. The dinghy and engine are in fine condition and very capable of taking you safely anywhere you want to go. The harbor is typical Maine beautiful and fairly calm. This is a must for anybody that has had prior boating experience and knows what it is like to swing on the hook for a few realxing days. Between the very professional way we were treated by Warren and his staff and the steadfastness of Andy in making us happy we can't wait to go back aboard. I rate this a Five Star marine lodging. You will never want to stay in a stuffy waterside hotel again. The location is kind of remote, so the shore facilities outside the marina and its restaurant, which is a pretty good, is limited. You have to go up to Bath for lots of dining choices. Closeby is Five Islands with a place called The Lobster House, which we found to be very very poor in its food quality and can not recommend. The only minus I can think of is the lack of WiFi capability on the boat. They have great WiFi service and a place to work near the gas dock, but in my opinion the relaxing ambiance would be better if I could have done some work on the boat without having to carry my computer to the dock each time I wanted to log on. A minor point though. We loved our stay.
