Captain John picked us up on Peaks Island where we were staying for the week, which made the... read more trip super convenient! The 2 hour “Family Adventure” was the perfect mix of touring the islands of the bay, learning more about them and their history as well as actively fishing in the bay. My kids loved being able to catch fish and had a fun time releasing them at the end as well. We also had the opportunity to help haul in lobster traps during the tour and learned much about lobstering! Our outing with Casco Bay Adventures was definitely a highlight of our trip!

We had fun fishing... read more for mackerel and checking the lobster pots, learning how to measure (no keepers on our trip) we saw tons of lighthouses and got some good photos. Cannot speak highly enough about Captain John and how well he engaged with our boys. It was a great family adventure.

  Wife and I booked a cruise through Casco Bay Adventures. Captain John took us around the bay for a couple hours and showed us all the interesting points from... read more nature to historical references of WW II. We also were dropped off to enjoy a dinner at Peaks Island while the Captain waited for us to finish dinner while the sun was beginning to set. We ventured out to also pull up a trap from lobster fishing and learned about the trade and conservation. When we were almost done, we stopped at the light tower for a great picture moment before travelling back to port. Captain John was a wonderful and informative host. If you desire this activity, Casco Bay Adventures should be your only stop. Enjoy! This trip would also be great for kids to see the seals and other marine life as well as lobsters.

  The 2 hour tour with Captain Bill was the favorite part of our vacation. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He picked us up on one of the Commercial Street... read more wharfs. We saw light houses, forts, lobster traps, and islands in the bay. My family of 6 went on the tour. It was so much more personal than one of the bigger (crowded) sight seeing tours. It was well worth the time and money!

  This is our 3rd time in 3 summers going out on the boat with Captain John and Casco Bay Adventures. It's a highlight of our summer. This is highly... read more recommended if you have little kids (or big kids). We took our son at 1, 2 and now 3 and we have had an awesome time.
