Explore. Relax. Unwind. Enjoy.

​We rent our vessels by the half-day, day, week or month. Our rental fleet consists of new and nearly new 'ANGLER' brand fiberglass powerboats.  Vessels are Yamaha powered. This boat / motor combination has proven to be a great pairing. All boats are boatyard maintained and the finest quality available in the rental industry.

Pet Friendly

At Manset Yacht Services, our pets are a member of the family.  All boat rentals are pet friendly - life jackets for your four-legged friends are recommended, so make sure you bring that along!

About Manset Yacht Service

​Bob Brown established his company in 1991 on the shores of Manset in Southwest Harbor, Maine next to The Hinckley Company. Having boated here and in Florida waters since childhood, he got to know the business and the coastal area well. Today, Manset Yacht Service is a 2-acre facility providing powerboat rentals to visitors and locals who want the best equipment.
Located on the Manset shore in Southwest Harbor Maine makes for an ideal starting point for your excursion but if you like we can deliver boats to you dock or mooring. Renting from Southwest Harbor offers cruising and picnicking in a truly unique area. Great Harbor Marina is close at hand as well as The Hinckley Company's docks and mooring fields.
​
Take in the views along Somes Sound or around the Great Harbor and see some of the most attractive summer homes on the East Coast. Cruise into Northeast Harbor for lunch or do a bit of shopping in Seal Harbor with its scenic beach and picturesque harbor. Another option is the head out to Great Cranberry Island or Islesford. This is a wonderful day trip.
