Our captain and crew was so fun and friendly. They had tons of information that they shared and were so personable! We had a great experience. The captain pointed our boat directly into the sunset as it was going down… They timed it perfectly! You will love your boat tour.
Very nice staff and tour guide. Very nice views of the lighthouses and beautiful sunset and moonrise.
We're glad you had a good time on the boat tour! The crew loves bringing folks out on the water and showing all of Portland's sights and history. Hope to see you again soon!

Very chill and relaxing. It was a beautiful evening and the bay was calm. We saw harbor seals and birds. Capt. Pete and Danny were very knowledgeable. With fewer than 20 passengers there was plenty of room. The Elizabeth Grace is a nice boat. I highly recommend this cruise for a calm Summer evening.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank you for joining us on the boat tour! Portland's such a fun place to explore and even more so by water. Great to hear that the seals and porpoises showed up too!
We received history about the lighthouses in relation to WW2 and how they are currently being used. We learned about the ages of different boats near us. It was nice to have a drink on board. It was a bit cool; however, we brought a jacket and were fine!
We're so happy to hear that you had a fun time on the boat tour, and thanks for joining us! Portland's naval history is incredibly extensive and it's even more fun to learn about it while on the water. Weather can certainly be surprisingly cold in the summer but we're glad it was a fun tour nonetheless!
Beautiful views out on the water! Friendly staff and knowledgeable about local history. We loved learning about the various islands surrounding the bay.
Thank you so much for joining us on the boat tour! Exploring Portland is always fun but doing it from the water is definitely something special, so we're glad to hear you had a fun time on the tour and that the crew was friendly and engaging!
Although there was no true guide. Danny the first mate did an excellent job of pointing out things we passed and gave us a brief history lesson on everything we saw. He was enthusiastic on everything to do with Portland, Maine and will be an excellent Captain one day. Meet-up place was great, we enjoyed a few beverages and was given a quick run down of how everything would be when the tour started. Highly recommend.
We're thrilled to hear that you had a fun time on the boat tour! Danny's knowledge of Portland's maritime history is only outdone by his passion for sharing it with others, and we're happy to hear that he showed the group a fun time. There's a lot more to explore so we hope to see you on another tour soon!
Capt Pete and Deckhand Danny were gracious and knowledgeable. We saw and learned about 3 iconic Maine lighthouses as well as various marine life including seals which we saw basking on Seal Rock. 90 minutes was a perfect amount of time to enjoy our complimentary beverages and soak in the dramatic sunset over Portland.
Thank you so much for the kind words, and thanks for joining us on the boat tour! Capt Pete and Danny love bringing folks out on the water and sharing Portland's rich history. And to end on a beautiful sunset is the cherry on top!
