Closest marina w/ travel lift to Kennebunkport???
Friend is getting married up there next summer and I'd like to bring the boat up. Are there any places in Portsmouth or closer that can put the boat in for me?

probably 25 miles by water or by road to portland. Portsmouth is a little further by boat. Im sure there are a bunch of other places in between as well. There is a place in Kennebunkport where George Bush keeps his Fountain too.

Performance Marine In Kennebunkport Has a 15 ton lift. It can be a pain to get a hold of them I have a Marine service business in town and run the lift from time to time let me know what you are thinking when the time comes. It really depends on what else is happening at that time. It gets real busy down there in the summer.

Once outta the Kennebunk river it's open ocean. a couple mile ride to local cocktail cove stage harbor. Portland harbor/ Casco bay is a great day trip lots to do places to tie up. Happy to show you around.

Great Bay Marine in Newington NH comes to mind. They have a 30 ton lift and loads of space to store your rig. Its a short ride up the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth. There is also a nice hotel with a Marina at the head of that river I like to get away to from time to time, The Wentworth by the sea..

Great Bay Marine in Newington (Dover Point for tides) has a large ramp that could easily launch your boat as well as a travel lift. They would probably get you for $50.00 to launch. I have a season pass there when we go out locally. I have seen Top Gun's, 382's and a 44 Concept use it with ease. Avoid anything below a -1 low tide and it is an easy in and out.

Figure 15-20 minutes to downtown Portsmouth and then 5-10 minutes before you are out of Portsmouth Harbor and then straight up to KBPT.
The Wentworth is great and very accomodating. Happy medium between KBPT and Newburyport/Rockport/Gloucester.
