There is nothing more uniquely Maine than a day at the lobster boat races. Whether you're drawn to the races as a serious competitor, or are a summer visitor in search of a true Maine experience, a day at the races will kick summer into gear.

This year, eight locations have signed-on to present a race card of uniform sanctioned classes, allowing racers to earn and accumulate points throughout the season all along the circuit. The eight sanctioned events include: Boothbay Harbor; Rockland; Moosabec; Stonington; Harpswell; Friendship; Winter Harbor; and Searsport. In addition to these sanctioned events, an annual non-points race at Pemaquid has firmly established its popularity with racers looking for a fun outing and top-shelf prizes.
