Getting around
Rent a boat to explore the bay & islands
Bucks Harbor Marine offers daily boat rentals for those who want to explore the islands. Vow to not step into a car for your stay. Instead use a boat to fetch your groceries from Bucks Harbor Market which is a quick 15 minute boat ride from Orcutt Harbor to Bucks Harbor Marina, then a 10 minute walk to the market. Great family activity.
