How it works
You sail out of South Addison aboard Polaris Jack, past the lobster fleet and the outer ledges, to an island with nobody on it. The captain builds a driftwood fire on the beach and lets it burn down to coals while you hike the ledges, comb the beach, or do absolutely nothing.
​
Then lobsters and clams, both fresh daily, go on the fire. Butter melts in a cast-iron pan at the edge of the coals. You eat on warm granite with the tide moving below you. It's Downeast terroir at its finest.
​
Afterward, you sail home in the afternoon light. About five hours, all told.
