About this docked boat rental

Situated in Westport, this lovely docked boat for $375 per night is a great option for your next break. The Nancy Lou is our newest moored houseboat for rent (three night minimum) to experience the peace, beauty and wonder of life on the water in Riggs Cove, Georgetown, Maine. The Nancy Lou has a roof top deck (Sun Deck) for you to relax and enjoy the surroundings as well as accommodations for five. The private forward bedroom (cabin) features a queen sized bed with doors forward to the front deck and aft to the kitchen (galley) and bathroom (head). The salon area converts to sleep two, and the settee pulls out for one. A walk-in shower and on-demand hot water, a three burner stove with oven, a refrigerator, and a small propane grill. Birthday, anniversary, honeymoon, kid's science project? Just hangin' out on the mooring, exploring the coves in the skiff, paddling kayaks (two on board), watching boats, watching nature and being one with the sea. All the comforts of home are on Nancy Lou. Experience a getaway you won't forget, and, best of all, no boating experience required.

We enjoyed our time on Nancy Lou! Pure relaxation! Just what we needed from our busy lives. We plan on returning next summer. A huge thank you to Jessie, Jimmy and Dave!

We had a wonderful few days on the Nancy Lou. I would equate it to glamping with all the conveniences. The accommodations were great. The master bed was very comfortable and my kids (19, 19, and 21) said the living room beds were decent as well. I would say the full bed was a little too small for two 19-year olds to share, but for smaller kids it would be fine. The kitchen is compact but had everything I needed to cook our breakfasts and dinners. There is also a small grill to use. The fridge and freezer are small but perfect for what we needed for four days. Like everything else, the bathroom is small yet efficient. It was interesting to learn how it all worked and we had no problems with the water supply even though there were 5 adults showering. We did switch to the second tank on the last day. The electric lights all worked great too - we played many board games in the evening. The best part, though, is the roof deck. When we weren’t exploring the cove in the water bug or kayaks, we were up reading a book on the roof deck in comfy lounge chairs. Everyone at Riggs Cove was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of information on local places to visit. They even checked in on us on day 2 to make sure we had everything we needed. Finally, we did not have the best of weather but we still had an awesome time so don’t worry if your forecast isn’t perfect. We even weathered a massive overnight thunder and lightning storm with torrential rain and the Nancy Lou barely rocked.

This getaway was just the thing my husband and I needed. Everything was perfect. Jimmy was SO accommodating and helpful. He even drove by and dropped off some bug spray for us because we for got to buy some! He gave great recommendations on things to do (Beal Island - beautiful little island we kayaked over to) as well as food recommendations. Do NOT skip out on the Osprey! Thank you Nancy Lou & co for a wonderful few days!

Our first time on a houseboat and it wont be our last! Amazing location in the harbor with seals, eagles, ospreys all around, lobster boats every morning and beautiful sailboats. Jimmy helped us to our boat and gave us information about the area and assisted us with any questions/concerns we had. The boat was comfortable and had all the linens, cooking items, you could need. Didnt look as clean as I would have liked especially with covid, but I brought lysol wipes which helped. The boat came with 2 kayaks which were perfect to explore the area - our daughter loved them! The little"waterbug" boat was perfect to go back and forth from the marina and exploring the harbor. Would highly recommend this houseboat for a couple or a family of 3. No better way to fall asleep than to the gentle rocking of the boat on the waves and nothing beats waking up to an amazing sunrise and the sounds of nature. The roof deck was a great place for a nap and watching the sunset with a glass of wine. We loved every minute of it and cant wait to go back! Thank you to Jesse and Jimmy!
