  Thank you for an afternoon that was nothing short of fabulous! Our Captain Geoff quickly assessed our group and tailored our time together to our interests and curiosity.

Everyone had a different favorite part to the day and that was pretty magical. Even 10-month old Hunky who loved it when we accelerated 🙂
I recommend Casco Bay Adventures without reservation and look forward to the next time I will charter their excellent tours.
Thank you for keeping us safe, entertained, and learning!

  Casco Bay Adventures was AWESOME! I found their website after a quick Google search when I was looking for a last minute activity for four middle school aged boys on... read more a perfect Maine summer day. I sent a google form on the website and asked what availability they had THAT day and within twenty minutes I received a call from Captain John. He explained what time he had and an hour later we were all on his boat departing from Spring Point Marina. He was a warm, friendly, knowledgable, low-key, easy-going guy who made the experience both fun and relaxed. John had nuggets of trivia and information to engage the boys. He showed each boy how to operate a fishing rod and we spent timing fishing. I have so many pictures of smiling and laughing boys with beautiful Portland Headlight and all of Casco Bay in the background. Captain John was engaged the entire time, helping and giving advice and pointers. We fished in a couple spots and then went to lobster. He taught the kids about how to identify the gender, how to measure and determine if the lobster was a "keepah." I would highly recommend reaching out to Captain John and his team at Casco Bay Adventures for a run boat adventure in Casco Bay and we surely will be doing that again with our next family visitors!

  Captain John does an excellent job. He was very knowledgeable of the area and the history of it. We got to fish for mackerel and we're lucky enough... read more to all catch some. Pulled up some lobster traps and learned about the lobsters, how to measure them and what their gender was. Such a cool experience. And both our daughters got to drive the boat. This was the best part of our trip. Definitely book with them if you want a fun and interactive experience!

  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!

  We had a great time out with Captain John on Casco Bay. We did the two hour tour and it was perfect for our family of 5 with kids... read more ages 12-17. They caught fish, pulled up lobster traps and saw the sights. It was a fun way to start our week off in Maine!

  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. We went fishing, went lobstering, went around Peak's island among other activities. Captain John is patient and engaging for the kids and we just love doing this.
