Visit us on Hurricane!

We welcome boaters from around the world to Hurricane Island. Our staff will orient you to the island trails and tell you about our programs. Moorings are available (see below) to the public on a first-come-first-served basis.

AS OF APRIL 2026, WE HAVE 5 MOORINGS SET AND INSPECTED FOR PICK UP BY VESSELS OVER 25’.

***Please only pick up WHITE moorings, YELLOW are reserved for our fleet.***

We can accommodate an additional 5 smaller boats (up to 25’) on the mooring field.

Please contact us on VHF channel #16 or #68 when approaching the mooring field for directions to an open mooring.

Visiting captains should drop off passengers at our main float and then put their boat on a mooring. We maintain dinghys on our float to borrow as tenders.

We request a suggested donation for mooring use of $40 per night and $20 per day. Click here for a link to our donation page.

Island Use Policies

We maintain several trails available for public access (day-use only). There are sections of the island that are off-limits: please do not pass any “private” signs.

When exploring Hurricane Island, we ask that you watch your step: there is unstable granite, and it can be extremely slippery when wet. Please honor the “Leave No Trace” principles.

Important: We ask that you do not disturb any lessons in progress or enter any buildings without permission in order to respect the staff and young people who call the island home.

Trail maps are available at the head of the main pier OR click here to download our trail map.

Camping

At this time there is no camping on the island unless you are a Maine Island Trails Association member. Please visit the MITA website for more information.
