The Snowdrifter II was designed and built to comfortably carry a relatively large number of passengers. A full array of safety equipment is carried on board.

The vessel meets the requirements of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and undergoes an annual inspection to ensure safety compliance.

We do not assume liability for personal injuries or for the personal belongings of guests.

Once onboard the Snowdrifter II, the Captain will conduct a safety review and guests are required to sign a liability waiver.

The Snowdrifter II will legally and comfortably seat 19 passengers but State of Maine regulations limit our charter capacity to 12 guests plus crew.

The primary docking location is at our home port in Oakland. A short gentle sloped sidewalk leads to a level lawn and a 25-foot walk to the boat. There is ample parking for up to a dozen cars. We occasionally utilize both Sidney and Oakland boat landings, the Snow Pond Arts Academy/New England Music Camp, and even private camps depending on their locations.

We recommend a reservation a day or two in advance, although same day reservations (subject to availability) are welcome.
