Itinerary

  • Casco Bay (Pass By)

    With over 200 islands that are home to both tiny coastal fishing towns and Maine's largest city, Casco Bay is vibrant, scenic, and a great way to experience Maine's incredible beauty, world-class cuisine, and wonderful boating opportunities.

  • Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse (Pass By)

    Get up close to Spring Point Light and nearby Fort Preble, a small gun emplacement built as a part of Portland's Harbor Defenses. In the early years, the lighthouse was not connected to the mainland by the granite breakwater that exists today, and ships that went on the wrong side of the lighthouse went aground on shallow ledge.

  • Bug Light Park (Pass By)

    This is the smallest and first of four lighthouses we will encounter on our cruise through Casco Bay. On windy days, keep an eye out for gatherings of expert kite flyers and their colorful kites. Sometimes there's even a giant purple octopus floating lazily in the breeze! Just around the corner from Bug Light is a statue of the bow of a Liberty Ship. Many ships were constructed here during WWII, including the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, which is a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco and one of the only surviving Liberty Ships.

  • Portland Head Light (Pass By)

    See Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest and most iconic lighthouse, from the water. Commissioned by George Washington and constructed starting in 1791, this lighthouse has been an important navigational beacon and local landmark for more than 2 centuries. The lighthouse has withstood hurricanes and global conflicts. German U-boats sunk a US Navy ship just 15 miles off the Head Light in the waning days of WWII.

  • Fort Gorges (Pass By)

    As the most conspicuous stone fortress protecting Portland Harbor, Fort Gorges is a landmark visible from much of Casco Bay, which is exactly why it was built on this rocky outcropping a short distance from Peaks and Little Diamond Islands and the mainland itself. The fort could fire more than a dozen cannons on attackers coming from any possible sea route, but was never used in active battle. Technological advancements in artillery during the Civil War rendered it too vulnerable to be useful. The fort did serve as a storage facility for the army during World War II, when underwater mines, electromagnetic sensing cables, and other systems were used to help protect Portland and Casco Bay from German attack. Remember, Portland was home to a large shipyard during WWII and was the start of a pipeline that supplies oil to Montreal and eastern Canada, so the region was of high strategic importance even in more modern conflicts.

  • Peaks Island (Pass By)

    See some of the most incredibleEnjoy fantastic views of the scenic cliffs on Cushing Island and the tree-lined streets and quaint cottages of Peaks Island. Once home to several amusement parks that were served by direct steamer routes from New York, Peaks is now a quiet island neighborhood that is technically part of the City of Portland but has a small-town feel all its own. By the time the fall colors are in full view, most seasonal residents have returned to their usual homes, and Peaks is home to just a couple hundred hearty year round souls who must take a ferry or water taxi to get to the mainland.

Best way to see the coastline and lighthouses in Portland! It was nice having the tour all to ourselves. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable. The boat was nice and clean, and they provided a speaker for us to play our music and blankets. A great experience, definitely recommend!

A must you must take!

Published on Oct, 2024

Our favorite part of the honeymoon! You must take this tour! Captain Nick and Tristen were the best! Super comfortable tour with drinks and plenty of Portland history! I cannot recommend this tour enough! So worth it! We would like to come back and take it again!

Amazing Time!

Published on Oct, 2024

This experience was amazing! We just got married and this was the first time where we just got to sit back and relax since the wedding. Captain Zach and Deckhand Lauren were incredible! They showed us all the lighthouses and were knowledgeable! They answered all our questions. We really enjoyed our time with each other and the crew on the boat!

Published on Jun, 2024

For some reason, I do not see my old review. Our boat trip was amazing. Our food was locally sourced and delicious. The day was perfect providing my husband and myself alone time. We enjoyed every minute cruising right by local shorelines. We were educated in some of the local landmarks, as well. Great thing to experience and get a real feel for local fisheries and fishing industry in the area. I highly recommend this excursion!

Great both times

Published on Oct, 2023

This was our 2nd trip aboard this boat, and we loved it just as much as the previous time. A comfortable, relaxing, and informative trip around Casco Bay, with wine and a beautiful charcuterie plate. The captain and first mate were excellent - was a highlight of our weekend trip.
