Wonderful experience for the whole family!
Everyone on staff was helpful and knowledgable. Easy to book online, easy to find. The kids love seeing seals and we had a great time. Everyone else on the boat seemed to be having fun too and there were great photo opportunities. Would definitely go again!

First visit to Maine
This was a great way to see the coast line around Boothbay! Beautiful fall day. The ship guide/captain was very informative and they took their time going around the islands and sharing lots of information about the landmarks and wildlife. We really enjoyed to ride, it was well worth the time and money!

Captain's Combo---Great trip
We took the Captain's Combo trip and were extremely pleased. The boat, Pink Lady II was clean and in excellent condition.The captain not only piloted the boat well, he was also a very knowledgable narrator.The route taken on the trip included lighthouses, bays, wildlife, and our favorite, the working fishing village of South Bristol. Great trip.

Excellent sail
Cruise was excellent. Captain was excellent. Running commentary was very informative. Cruise was just the proper length, not too long and not too short. All in all a very pleasant experience. I would recommend this for anyone in the area who would like to see the area by sea.

Great scenery and well-informed crew
This was my second time on this cruise and I liked it just as much. The water was rougher this time so the captain changed the route just a little to get us in calmer water. We saw seals sunning on the rocks and trees just starting to turn color. I took my adultdaughter who's from New York city and she thought the views were beautiful. It gave her a very realxing change of scene. Both the captain's narration and the demonstration of lobstering were full of intriguing facts.

Terrific day cruise!
We took the 2 hour cruise around islands and rivers near Boothbay Harbor. The boat was first class and the captain was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the marine life and landscape and the crew was most accommodating. An excellent value as well. Highly recommended.

Amazing
I can honestly say that this was the best boat see tour we ever did. We did the captains special the first time and were so pleased with the knowledge of the captain explaining everything along the trip that we decided to do the Kennebec River tour two days later. We saw seals, lighthouses, bald eagles and all kinds of birds. We had the same captain on both rides and were so impressed with his narration during the trip. Would highly recommend this to anyone. The price was decent too for all the sights you get to see and the great personality of the captain.
