Samoset Room Reservations
The Maine Fishermen’s Forum reserves a block of rooms at the Samoset Resort to pass on reduced rates to our attendees. Rooms at the Samoset Resort are in high demand and sell out quickly. They go on sale in January through the link that will be posted here.
Parking
Free & Easy Samoset Parking Shuttles – Park offsite at the satellite lot and get a ride to the entrance of the Samoset!
This year we are increasing our shuttle capacity, making it easy to stay at offsite lodging and access the Forum.
Offsite Parking Instructions:
Park at the Harbor Plaza lower lot off Glen St in Rockland.
The Samoset shuttle will come around and pick up Forum attendees every 15 minutes.
Keep an eye out for the shuttle and exit your car so the driver sees you for pickup.
Shuttles will run continuously during peak hours, and on demand until 10:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
Peak hours are 7:30 a.m.- 10:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Looking for a shuttle at off-peak hours? Call the Samoset at 207-594-2511 and the driver will be sent to pick you up.
Note that parking onsite may be available during off peak hours and you may wish to drive through the Samoset lot before parking offsite.
