Scott A. Cluff was 64 when he was last known to be in Kennebunkport, Maine, on November 16, 2023. NamUs describes him as a White male, brown hair and brown eyes, about 6 feet 3 inches and 195 pounds. He was reported to have gone lobstering that morning in a 12-foot aluminum skiff, believed to have launched from Turbat’s Creek to haul traps between Walker’s Point and Cape Porpoise, and was expected back around 3:00 p.m. but never returned.

A multi-agency search began after a report to the Coast Guard at about 6:40 p.m. and included major assets such as a 47-foot motor lifeboat, an H-60 helicopter, an HC-144 fixed-wing aircraft, and the Fast Response Cutter Maurice Jester. Searchers concentrated on the waters and shoreline around Walker’s Point and Cape Porpoise. The skiff was later found overturned on rocks at Walker’s Point and debris along the shore included a plastic tote, a life jacket, and a boot; authorities said the evidence suggested he had likely gone into the water, but Cluff himself was not located.

The Coast Guard suspended its large-scale search after covering more than 700 square nautical miles. Does anyone who knew Scott or was on the water that day have information that could help clarify what happened?
