New charter boat company launches in Portland

A new charter boat company called Portland Harbor Fleet is partnering with developers of the soon-to-open Inn at Diamond Cove on Great Diamond Island to provide historical and recreational tours of Casco Bay and the Portland-area island.

The Portland Press Herald reported that Portland Harbor Fleet proprietor Capt. Gene Willard, a Casco Bay Lines senior ferry captain, is using a retired UB85 Navy Boat to provide the tours. He has collaborated with Bateman Partners, which is expected to open the inn later this month.

As part of the new venture, Shipyard Brewing Co. has developed a special light session ale called UB85 that will be served at the inn’s new restaurant and the Inn on Peaks Island, which is owned by the brewery’s founder Fred Forsley.
