My sister and I enjoyed the tour immensely. Weather was perfect! Your staff and captain were fabulous! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Portland!!!

It was a beautiful day with very friendly guys operating the boat. Our guide was pretty knowledgeable. It was a small vessel; we envisioned a much larger one. This was not a misrepresentation on their part, just based on our past experience. We were with two other couples. A nice intimate experience. They were on time with pickup and drop off.

Pleasant cruise and friendly crew. I was a little disappointed we didn't see more lighthouses. We also had issues finding the correct place to board the boat; address given was for the Portland Pier, but boat was a couple docks away. If the weather had been better, it would have helped, but it was also a lot of money for a short trip.

Brittany_P

Captain Mark and first mate Evan were fun, friendly and informative, basically historians. The views were spectacular and we were able to get very close to all the sites. The boat was comfortable and covered in case of bad weather. Drink selection was all local and water. Great recommendations offered for the remainder of our trip. Totally recommend this tour!

Marilyn_H

Loved the lighthouses but due to the winds we weren’t able to enjoy the lighthouses or take good pictures. I know it was for safety.

James_S

Our tour guide was superb and very knowledgeable about the sights around the bay. The weather was perfect with calm water and blue skys.

Trip cancelled prior to hurricane Lee arriving. Scheduled for a Wed cruise, but was cancelled due to storm arriving on Fri.

Nancy_S

This cruise never happened. My husband and I waited at designated dock and boat never showed up. Called number on ticket and the operator said we had the wrong number. After telling her this number was on the ticket she said they do no boat cruises on Tuesday the day we made the reservations. She blamed Viator for booking our reservation. We wasted time on our vacation waiting for a tour that was never supposed to be booked. Very, very, very disappointed!

Ann_B

The sunset was beautiful! Lauren was friendly with a lot of knowledge to share. It would have been nice if she had a speaker to talk to the whole boat at once.

John K

The lighthouse tour was wonderful. The captain and his assistant were very nice and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend taking this tour.
