Old Port Seafood Lovers walking lunch in Portland: lobster roll, chowder, beer, lobster-fishing stories, and a sweet finish.

Fast RIB-style whale watching from Portland with lighthouse photo stops and 2 hours offshore in small groups up to 14.

Private sunset cruise on a vintage lobster boat in Casco Bay with drinks, onboard comfort, and guided lighthouse history.
“Mike and Nick did a great job of safely taking us around the Bay. It started out as a completely cloudy afternoon but the clouds broke open as we were at Cape Elizabeth.
