Thank you for your interest in the Mid-Harbor 26. We are proud to present a launch that after three-years of research has been designed to set the new standard in small passenger vessels.

Our Coast Guard Certified 24 passenger launch was conceived with two ambitious goals in mind. The firstobjective was to build the finest small passenger vessel on the market today. The boat itself had to be of topquality construction and built to the most stringent ABS standards. The vessel also had to be built for therigors of continuous, dependable operation required of yacht club launches, yacht tenders, and water taxis.Top quality components were specifically selected for durability, performance and economy of operation.

Second, we saw the opportunity to deliver a level of customer service and support, both before and after acustomer takes possession of a Mid-Harbor 26, that is unparalleled in the industry today. We striveto help solve problems and utilize our years of experience and our industry connections to help our cus-tomers reach their goals more quickly and effectively. When you own one of our vessels, you get accessto a support staff who is dedicated to helping you improve your launch service or water transportationbusiness. Mid-Harbor assures clear, open and easy communication to guarantee that even the smallestrequest is dealt with quickly and efficiently.

The Mid-Harbor 26 launch is hand laid in the mold of Atlantic Boat Company’s Duffy 26 hull. TheDuffy 26 was designed in 1986 and since that time there have been over seventy 26's built as commerciallobster boats, tow boats, charter boats, pleasure boats and launches. The Mid-Harbor 26 is a built down,semi displacement style hull designed for excellent sea keeping. Maximum beam is 9'-6" and beam atthe transom is 7'-3". For the size, the Mid-Harbor 26 is as stable a working platform as you could hopeto find.

This vessel’s beauty and classic lines are second only to its performance invarying conditions, its comfort and accessibility for its passengers, and itssound predictable handling for the operator. From experience, it is a greatcomfort to know exactly how a boat is going to handle in most every con-dition, especially when you have the safe transportation of your passen-gers as your top priority.
