Jo's Nautical was founded as a bar in 1952 by Jack and Josephine Darcy of Hull. Functions and dining facilities upstairs were phased out as Jack and Jo semi-retired, but the pub downstairs remains. The pub was purchased by Mike McDevitt and Stephinie Aprea in 2004 after Jack and Jo Darcy passed away.

Mike will give you a little tour. (Notice he dosen't tell where the bodies are buried and stays mum about the tunnel!!!). Thanks Felicia for finding this link.

Mike and Steph are now at the helm of Jo's Nautical. They live across Hull Gut on Peddock's Island.

Jo's is located at the end of Hull, between Hull High School and the Coast Guard Base at 125 Main Street. It is on the "bayside" and can be reached by car, commuter boat, or private boat. Holding off the pub's beach is good with danforth or plow on a sandy bottom. Please use front entrance when visiting by boat, do not climb the fence to the outdoor patio. The pub is located at 42deg. 18.27'N 070deg. 54.97'W. Please anchor outside the small mooring field. See "map page" on this site for charts of the area.

A Navy helicopter lands behind Jo's, where the deck is now located.

Jo's used to have a dock and floats for visiting boats. Here, Jack stands on one of the floats.
