Lobster boats race alongside Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse where you see them from a great advantage point.
According to Rockland Lobster Boat Races, Since the beginning of the Rockland Lobster Boat Races in June of 2007, it has been our drive to provide racers and specators with the Best Race course, the Best venue for spectators (running along side the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse), a full array of participating Lobster boats from all along the coast of Maine, the highest prize values on the circuit, and great value for exposure for promoters who donate money and prizes to the race. The city of Rockland, Maine and all of our Sponsors have helped us to build this race to reach those goals. As we continue each year, we strive to improve upon past seasons and continue to satisfy our growing fan base and race participants.
Rockland, Maine currently has the largest Prize Values on the circuit. In our first nine years we have given out over $150,000 in cash & Prizes!
The exciting tradition continues for the 2019 Rockland Lobster Boat Races. This year registration will begin at 8:00 at Journeys End Marina next to the commercial dock inside building A3. The awards ceremony will conclude the races in the same building with prizes being raffled off and the announcement of the winners!
