For our second year, our stay aboard Mazu offered our family a truly wonderful vacation! There is no other place like it, where we are surrounded by beautiful views from every direction, and where we are rocked to sleep every night by the peaceful waves of the Damariscotta River. My daughters and I have looked forward to our return to Mazu since last summer, and we were not disappointed. Olga and Chip are such excellent hosts, balancing proactive help, great communication, and warm smiles whenever needed but also honoring our privacy and special family time. We spent five days swimming in the incredibly warm waters of the Damariscotta River, lounging on the aft deck while playing games together, and exploring the wonderful town of Damariscotta, with its lovely shops and delicious restaurants. We slept well in the comfortable beds aboard the Mazu, and enjoyed sea breezes that kept us cool even during unseasonably warm Maine weather. Having been raised sailing the Maine coast, but not being able to offer my children the same opportunity, this chance to live aboard a beautifully appointed boat has been such fun for us all. We already look forward to next year. Thank you, Chip and Olga, for your warm hospitality, great care, and for sharing this little piece of Heaven with us! ##### Amanda M.

Never stayed on a boat before and the Mazu exceeded our expectations. What a wonderful place to stay. The bed in the captains quarters was fantastic! Views and location were amazing. Olga and Chip are wonderful hosts. Highly recommend the Mazu for your next get away! ##### Robert W.

Enjoyed the bottle of wine and water host provided. Great information on local activities provided by host. Kayak and canoe available for use was a great amenity. Would definitely do again! ##### Stacy Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelley W. 28 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Can't beat the view We loved it, definitely not a 4 adult place but perfect for a couple. Amazing view and location. Damariscotta is a great town to visit and get the feel of Maine. A few things need to be fixed and updates but overall really nice ##### Kelley W.

We absolutely loved our stay! We wanted a quiet and relaxing getaway, and this one knocked it out of the park. The only ‘complaint’ is that now we’re COMPLETELY spoiled- and it’s going to be difficult for future getaways anywhere else to match up! Which is actually a compliment- Olga, Chip, and MAZU rock! A+ ##### Jennifer M.

We had restaurants to grab food (many are short staffed and could not seat is), bring takeout back to boat, swim off the boat and just play games with our kids. You need to remember it’s a boat and has tight space but well worth it for the experience. Many thanks to Olga. ##### Dan & Sarah C.

If you want a water view and be in the middle of downtown close to all the restaurants and shops, this is for you ! Olga and Chip were fantastic hosts and were very responsive if needed but left us to our privacy. Great balance! It is a boat so expect those things that come with a boat. The beds were very comfortable and cozy ! ##### John D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ---
