Mansell Boat Rentals offers on-the-water ways to explore Acadia National Park and the coastal waters surrounding Mount Desert Island. Located at the southern entrance to Somes Sound in Southwest Harbor, the company provides motorboat and sailboat rentals, sailing lessons, captain services and personalized sightseeing tours.
