The Taber is docked at the wharf located at the end of Captain Spear Drive, 40 Tillson Avenue in Rockland, Maine.

By Car

Rockland is a four-hour drive from Boston, the last stretch a leisurely tour along Route 1. We have a dedicated, on-site parking lot which costs $20 (cash) per vehicle per trip. Our crew will give you a parking pass to place in your windshield and show you where to park.

  1. Take I-95 North.

  2. Take exit 44 toward South Portland and continue on I-295 North.

  4. Continue on Route 1 all the way to Rockland.
