Adults-Only Waterfront Lodge with Complimentary Kayak, Canoe & Bike Rentals on Kennebunkport's Marina
Rooms & Suites
Each of the 30 rooms at Yachtsman Lodge & Marina opens to a private patio with Adirondack chairs and views of the marina. The Deluxe King Room offers a wall-mounted electric fireplace, a king bed, and a screened sliding glass door for fresh air. Rooms underwent full renovation after a King Tide in early 2024, with boutique-style furnishings and colorful coastal decor.
Amenities & Activities
Guests receive a voucher for complimentary kayak use at a local yacht club, plus access to free bicycles and canoe rentals on site. The seasonal outdoor floating pool sits directly adjacent to the marina, with pool towels and sun loungers provided. Additional amenities include a happy hour event for socializing, a snack bar, and a complimentary continental breakfast delivered to the room each morning at 8:15 AM.

Goochs Beach is 2.4 km away, and the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge is within easy driving distance.

Guests have access to waste bags and outdoor spaces where dogs can roam near the waterfront. The hotel also provides a list of dog-friendly restaurants and attractions within walking distance.
Dining & Breakfast
A complimentary continental cold breakfast is served each morning, with pastries, fruit, yogurt, and coffee available in the breakfast room.

“What stands out is the seamless blend of nautical chic and modern comfort, emphasized by those king-size beds in bungalows with water views; plus, you can grab one of the complimentary bikes to explore Kennebunkport. I especially appreciate that they have dog-friendly rooms, and the floating pool on the marina adds a novel touch. It's a well-located, updated property that clearly caters to both relaxation and recreation.”
