Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

Summers in Maine were made for the open waters! The salty air and the occasional sea-spray landing across your face leave you feeling sun-kissed and relaxed. While Vacationland has no shortage of boat trips to take, we recommend forgoing the obvious choices for one that’s just a bit more unique. The best part? The boat will take you (and assorted mail and freight!) straight to Monhegan Island, one of the most beautiful in Maine.
Monhegan Island is located about ten miles from the mainland and can only be traveled to by boat.
It makes the trip once a day in May and October. Beyond that, you'll only be able to catch a ride on Monday, Wednesday and Friday once a day at 9:30am with a return trip immediately after the boat is unloaded.
What makes this trip so unique is that it has two purposes - one is to bring mail and freight to Monhegan and the other is to provide a gorgeous view to those who have decided to tag along.
Not only is this a fun way to see what's being hauled to the island each day, but is also allows for a few hours exploring Monhegan and its art galleries, shops and local restaurants.
You can learn more about the Monhegan Boat Line, which offers other cruising options as well, here. Check out the mail boat schedule and prices here.
