DiMillo's On The Water is a floating restaurant and event venue moored at 25 Long Wharf in Portland, Maine's Old Port district.

Topside rooms on the upper decks overlook the harbor and marina, and the top deck is fully tented and equipped for live entertainment. Complimentary parking is available for banquet guests.

The complex of four Victorian buildings is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, having first opened in 1832 as the first Free Will Baptist school in the United States.
