Maine’s Summer Coastlines Spotlight Luxury Yachts and Fresh Lobster Dishes

The coastal towns of Maine have become a summer focal point for both high‑end tourism and celebrated seafood. The $90 million, 242‑foot superyacht Sixth Sense, owned by Carnival Cruise Lines chairman Mickey Arison, was recently sighted anchored off Bar Harbor after spending time near Portland. Built by Amels in the Netherlands, the vessel accommodates up to 12 guests with a crew of 18 and is privately owned.

Meanwhile, a recent visit to the state inspired a new recipe that blends Maine’s signature lobster with summer corn and basil. The dish, Penne with Lobster, Summer Corn, and Basil, features cooked lobster meat tossed with olive‑oil‑sautéed corn, mascarpone, Parmesan, and fresh lemon zest, offering a quick 30‑minute meal for four. Both stories illustrate how Maine’s shoreline continues to attract affluent visitors while showcasing the region’s renowned seafood culture.
