To all of you who have paddled along our shores, journeying and gathering with us ~
Thank You!
This fall, the Boathouse on Peaks will be changing ownership. We have moved out of our long-term venue. We'll be taking a break for the winter, while we chart the next course for MIKCo. Our retail Nigel Dennis Kayaks are available. The listings on our website are current. Please email us to inquire about boats.

In Winter, a Side of Peaks Island That Visitors Don’t See
We're often asked what Peaks Island is like in winter. Islander Mira Pitacin describes the rhythms of island life in the quiet months, in this lovely essay published in Downeast Magazine. Some things have changed since Mira wrote this piece; Ellen now owns the café; Marty retired from Public Works. But we all still take the ferry.
