Before we started our family, Dan and I owned and operated a Bed and Breakfast in the hills of eastern Tennessee. We had previously lived on our freedom 40 in Savannah, GA, Nausikaa, but were looking for a change. Having been very familiar with the inn business in Key West, Florida, we thought we should give it a try. We fell in love with the charm and wilderness of Roan Mountain, Tennessee, found an old farmhouse there (completely by accident!) and knew we could turn it into a viable business. 

 

We trucked our boat up into the mountains, plunked her on Lake Watauga, and there ran her as a charter boat. We met a lot of fun people, families, and were privy to a number of engagements, anniversary dinners and birthday parties. It was time to start our own family, time for us to move on.

 

So we sold our business in Tennessee and our lovely sailboat, but knew that one day we would come back to the charter business.

 

After the birth of our son, our second child, we started looking for the perfect boat to offer charters here on Penobscot Bay. We searched long and hard, until one day Miss Nina (formerly One More Hug) came across our radar. She was the one we were looking for! We decided on Miss Nina for her beauty, comfort and safety. Miss Nina has a spectacular cockpit, a warm and roomy pilothouse to escape a chill that may arise in the air, or offer some relief from the sun. The enclosure is tall and all windows, so you never miss out on what’s happening outside. Miss Nina is a motorsailor and any combination of motoring and sailing may take place during our cruise. We offer a variety of sailing packages aboard Miss Nina.
