We were also fortunate enough to stumble on a group of porpoises and then swung over to seal rock for some additional entertainment.

We caught mackerel by a picturesque lighthouse, hauled lobster traps, viewed seals, and caught a strip’ah. It was a perfect trip on a beautiful day. We highly recommend this tour and this captain.

  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 read more nature to historical references of WW II.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.
