Southwest Harbor, Maine, is often called "the jewel" of Mt. Desert Island and the Acadia National Park region, this quaint and vibrant small Maine town is surrounded by Acadia and the quiet beauty of one of our country's most beloved national parks. Southwest Harbor remains a real working harbour filled with lobstermen and their boats bringing in their daily catch. This picturesque harbor is also filled with some of the finest yachts and sail boats in the world made right here by renown boat builders Hinckley and Morris Yachts to name just a couple.
