Guests' Testimonials

The weather was perfect and only rivaled by our accommodations on the MAZU. Chip and Olga were great, they had everything setup just perfectly for our weekend stay and made us feel completely at home. My wife was surprised by our weekend getaway to say the least. Everyone was amazed at what an awesome idea it was to stay on a boat for the weekend!!! We will definitely be back to spend more time on the MAZU. Thanks again for making our weekend UNFORGETTABLE!!

Never stayed on boat and it was wonderful. Really a very unique and special experience. Private yet in the middle of everything. Walking distance from anything you would ever need. Very clean and well kept and owners were great. Special watching sun ups and sunsets on the boat deck. Could kayak right off the boat. Would highly recommend​
Michael
What a fantastic time we had aboard the lovely MAZU! Olga and Chip were great hosts, made us feel super welcome, and provided us with everything we needed -- and then some. The Damariscotta River is awesome, the people are friendly and warm, and we had lots of fun with the kayaks and canoe. The only problem was that we didn't have much time, 2 days wasn't nearly enough. We will be back again soon, and hope that we can stay on the MAZU again.​
