“Introducing Gloucester’s Newest Luxury Boutique Hotel: The Highliner
We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of The Highliner, Gloucester’s premier luxury boutique hotel, opening in 2025! Nestled in the heart of downtown on Main Street, The Highliner offers a truly unique and elevated hospitality experience.
The property features 11 uniquely designed rooms, some boasting two-story loft-style living spaces, ensuring an unparalleled stay. Whether you’re a visitor or a local looking for a special getaway, The Highliner promises a refined blend of comfort, elegance, and character.
On the first floor, accessible directly from Main Street, we’re excited to offer a versatile event space. This venue will host a variety of events, creating a vibrant and ever-evolving hub for the community.
The Highliner name celebrates Gloucester’s history of fishing, the arts, and its breathtaking vistas. In fishing tradition, a “highliner” represents the best of its kind—a title earned by the top fisherman who worked from the highest point of the vessel.
The Highliner is a fully renovated property, thoughtfully reimagined from top to bottom. It is poised to become a landmark destination for travelers and locals alike.

From the gallery:
“This is an exhibit about the sea.
The horizon is the destination.
Where the sea and the sky meet, there is no reference to land.
Hope and longing are between here and there.
A storm might be approaching or subsiding, it’s not clear in the stillness.
There are questions of geomorphology, but distance is measured in the heart, not in miles.
These are paintings about painting.
They are an homage to Fitz Henry Lane, whose stillness of brush reflecting safe harbor contrasts and balances the perils of voyage and of distance.
They are an homage to Captain Harvey MacKay, whose home was the Jane Deering Gallery at 19 Pleasant Street in 1842. His ship “Boston” was struck by lightning and lost on May, 26, 1830.
They are an homage to poet Charles Olson, who saw Gloucester in mythical terms and in actual terms, a place made up of people.
In his poetry of space, Gloucester moves Outward—to the sea.
These paintings speak of the sea as a distance measured in the heart, not in miles.
They work in the space between geology and poetry, a mythical expanse of loss and hope. They are about moving forward and about what is left behind.
In the eternal space between here and there, there is the finite stillness of the present, measured by the heart. Solitude is the intimate and immediate present of being here, in a brushstroke or a drip, among the winds and the currents.

We haven’t seen a fawn in a couple of years so this was a little surprise and a fun treat.
Before you play the video, say this line out loud as if you were suggesting to a friend that you go there for a drink.
Before playing the video, say “Let’s go to Saluti for a drink.” Out loud. Then play the video and see if you got it right.
Ribbon Cutting today!
Check out the menu. What would you try? The Green Monster was yummy 🙂
After my shift at Gloucester’s Visitors’ Center, the clouds were forming and the Eastern Point looked pretty.

My Baby is no longer a baby, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
OK I’m really really having a tough time with this.
Since the Bean was a couple months old she slept and put herself to sleep with her two binkies. One orange, and one pink.
The Mrs and I have been lamenting the day that we would have to take the binkies away because we figured that Ellie would never get to sleep without them, and the horror show it would be trying to get her to sleep.
Out of the blue last night she tells her mom that she wants to give her binkies to the fishies and lobsters down at daddy’s wharf.
So she came down and tossed them to the fishies without even batting an eyelash. What was supposed to be this trying time of transition into being a little girl from a baby happened in the blink of an eye.
And I’m pretty sad about it.
It’s the last thing of her being a baby, and there’s no turning back.
Whoa.
