170 Commercial St, Portland, ME
(207) 761-0941

This is an unforgettable excursion on the waters of Casco Bay. You are guided through the daily routines of a Maine Lobsterman. You can participate in the excitement of hauling up the traps or you can sit back and relax as you cruise near picturesque lighthouses, historic Civil War forts, and the “Seal Rocks." Any lobsters you catch can be purchased after the cruise for wholesale “boat” price. The bride loves this one -it is a must-do in Portland!
