Overview

Embark on an unforgettable boat tour of Casco Bay in Portland, Maine, where nature, history, and natural beauty intertwine. Our journey begins as we glide past the majestic Fort Gorges and historic Fort Scammel. When the tide permits, we are able to disembark onto Fort Gorges for a quick side-adventure. Next, we’ll cruise by the spark plug-style Spring Point Ledge Light perched on the granite breakwater of South Portland.

The iconic Portland Head Light awaits us on the rugged cliffs of Cape Elizabeth, offering breathtaking ocean views followed by the eery and majestic abandoned Ram Island Ledge Light. We’ll then marvel at the stunning White Head Cliffs on Cushing Island and navigate through the scenic Diamond Pass, glimpsing all of Peaks Island's charm. Our adventure culminates at Half Way Rock, where we will hope to spot seals basking on their favorite sun-drenched rocks. Join us for this captivating tour, unveiling Maine’s rich heritage and natural splendor!
