Zefira - modern sailing yacht - Boothbay Harbor, Maine, USA
The Zefira is a modern sailing yacht, which we spotted in Boothbay Harbor (ME) USA. A real beauty of a boat. We caught eye of her, of this beautiful boat, sailing into Boothbay Harbor, Maine (USA) back in early August of 2012. Then we were on the Harbor Princess getting a tour of the huge harbor in Boothbay Harbor, full of marine life, a sea in it's own right really. The next day we chartered a fishing boat and captain Andrew jumped on the chance to motor alongside this 163 foot, smoked glass modern yacht. Just look at her, flying the Maltese flag, with the George Cross (I thought they were Templars coming into port!).

We over at Markzware have a search tool for desktop publishing file formats called PageZephyr. I wonder if Zefira is derived from zephyr, which means a light westerly wind. A favorable west wind for sailors!
The Zefira won two awards at ShowBoats Design Awards 2011 and no wonder. This sailing yacht is a jaw dropper. I was not sure if it was the CIA, Navy or business tycoon sailing into Boothbay Harbor. Her mast towers into the air and at night, was very visible above the tranquil setting of the main down town of Boothbay Harbor.
Also, Zefira wins at World Superyacht Awards 2011 as the:
Sailing Yacht of the Year!

Mackerel Fishing - Boothbay Harbor - Miss Boothbay
Mackerel Fishing in Boothbay Harbor on the Miss Boothbay fishing boat. Captain Andrew and deckhand Brady took us on a fantastic tour of the harbor, on the way out to the secret fishing hole. Then we hit a large school of mackerel. The kids hooked one fish after the other! It was loads of fun. This private but affordable mackerel fishing party was led by Balmy Days Cruises out of Boothbay Harbor, Maine - one of our favorite holiday destinations in New England!
