Built in 1949 by master boatbuilders Roger Rich and Ralph Grindle right here in Southwest Harbor, Maine, Driftwood is a 32-foot wooden lobster-style yacht with a story as rich as the coast she calls home.
She has been lovingly maintained her entire life — every plank, every fitting a testament to the craftsmanship of an era when boats were built to last generations. Stepping aboard Driftwood is stepping into the living history of Acadia.
There is no better way to see these islands than from the deck of a classic Maine vessel that has been doing exactly that for over 75 years.
