A quintessential, Downeast institution is awaiting its next lucky steward at our Thurston’s Lobster Pound in Tremont.

This longtime, family-run operation pairs salty air and colorful views of the working harbor with a beloved waterfront restaurant. Since 1946, local fishermen have delivered their daily catch to the wharves, providing a steady supply of fresh lobster and seafood; the seasonal restaurant (added in 1993) seats 178 guests across several indoor and outdoor dining areas, with a newer, intimate post-and-beam constructed bar area accented by a large stone fireplace.

Mariners have long recognized Thurston’s colorful yellow awning, making use of the expansive dock space included in the property’s 600 feet of waterfront. Thurston’s also includes a commercial lobster pound business and commercial wharves, a fuel dock, 200+ feet of deep-water float space, 200+ feet of dinghy/shallow-draft float space, parking, an office with a 2-bedroom employee apartment above, and all of the furniture and equipment that pertain to the operation of the business.
