For context, I have an uncle and cousin who berth in Round Pond, Pemaquid. For a few years in the 90s my uncle berthed in Boothbay Harbor too. It's a good 6-8 hours from both to Monhegan by wind alone.
I have only been that one time but we took the ferry out of Port Clyde. It was right after those Port Clyde buildings burned down so there was a bit of sadness surrounding the place. The island itself is a very lovely getaway, but there were no public tv's to watch the Patriots game!

I liked sitting up on the benches by the lighthouse and looking down on everything, plus we found another semi-secluded spot with a couple of chairs down near the water. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was being on the boat itself. I like looking at the ocean but not being on it or in it.
