Ship Ahoy Motel, Southport

Ship ahoy is quiet, peaceful& most important clean & cozy Simplify.... We would recommend to anyone. the seals & ospreys are wonderful to see !! Great place to stay to get away from it all at a great price.

I was there last year for the first time. We stayed there because of the price. But found we liked it very much it was quite and wonderful. I'm going back this summer and the young lady tending the office when were was nice and helpful.

we like the location. the rooms are big enough and clean mostly. the price is right. the owner knows us now and doesn't require us to put down a deposit. they also give us the room we ask for. we love the privacy of the decks on the farside bldg.the beds are very comfortable. it's close to down but far enough away to enjoy not being crowded together. it appears to be a mostly adult place so it's kinda quiet. it also has wild blueberry's where we stay and wild strawberries. i would recomend it to anyone who doesn't mind a no frills place with a very nice view. we bought our cousins with us last year the loved it. i think a microwave would be nice and a small refigerator would be nice too. and a little more dtailed cleaning would be nice the rooms aren't dirty but the little out of the way spots can go uncleaned.we're kinda tickled at this point that we get along with the owner of the hotel. and some of the area business know us when we go to their establishments,.

While looking for motels in Maine, we came across Ship Ahoy. It had everything we wanted, cheap, great view and a swimming pool. We decided this was the motel we wanted to stay at for a week. When we were checking in the lady was real helpful and very nice. After we got our key we walked to our room we spent about 10 minutes trying to get into the room. Finally we got the door open. Walking into the room, we thought it was ok. We sat down and looked around. The one window in front didnt shut at the top, there was about an inch gap where the window was suppose be attached to the frame. The door, well we found out what the problem was. The door wasnt even put on straight. The left hand side had a gap ranging from 1 to 2 inches. Dead bugs in the corner. Being 2 females alone in Maine, we decided that this motel was not for safe for us. We went to the front desk and told the lady that helped us before, that we weren't happy with the room. Her attitude changed after we told her all the problems and that we didnt feel safe. After a long conversation with her, we ended up getting a refund and finding a very nice motel along the bay.

Far East has the good views Ship Ahoy Waterfront has ok, somewhat obstructed views The main Ship Ahoy looks at the other two buildings. Breakfast (not included) is cheap packaged pastries. Our room was not vacuumed, and somewhat worn out - broken screen door, etc. "beach" was a joke. Pool is about 3' deep. No phones

The place is clean and friendly but it could use a lot of updating. Beautiful views of the water from your porch. Not very far away from Boothbay Harbor. Nice and secluded location.

Ship Ahoy Motel has been a long time favorite of ours. We've stayed at many Boothbay & Southport Hotels - If you don't neeed luxury, just want a large clean motel room with a spectacular view at a great rate, this is the place.
