About Our Vessel: M/V Tabasco
Originally hailing from Sebasco Harbor just outside Phippsburg, ME, Tabasco is a 32 foot Wasque (way-squee) powerboat built in Martha's Vineyard in 1973. She spent nearly her entire life in Maine, named as a play on words of her hailport of Sebasco, ME. Before starting her new life in Newport, her loving owner of over 25 years spent countless summer days enjoying time with friends and family on her off the Maine coast.
​
Now a Newport gal, Tabasco is a head turner with her classic styling and modern amenities. She sports ample deck space which we like to call her "flex space." With an aft lounge bench, moveable deck chairs, and table, it is the perfect space for serving both charcuterie boards as well as showing off your best dance moves. She has a full audio system with Bluetooth connectivity to make sure the mood is set or the tunes are pumping.
