  Fantastic trip with Captain John and Carmen. The boat was wonderful and checked all of the Maine check boxes (lobsters, lighthouses, islands, sea life) but most importantly John and... read more Carmen were respectful and dedicated to connecting with each of us (even our preteen kids) to make sure we had an enjoyable time- wonderful Maine experience!!

  We loved our trip with Captain John. He was interesting, knowledgeable, and was absolutely awesome with our five year old. The adults had a blast, but the five year... read more old will be talking about it to anyone who will listen for years to come.

The tour packs a lot into a short amount of time with minimal travel time between stops. The boat I is comfortable and the launch point is convenient to town. The whole thing was very well done.

  What a great day! 4 hours with Capt John for a birthday celebration with 5 boys, 22 years old. Two of the boys had never been on a boat on... read more the ocean, What! We left the marina and headed out between Peaks and the Diamond Islands into Hussey sound. Mackerel was the first fish to catch then we went on to Stripah's! Everyone on the boat caught at least one striper and or mackerel.
Everyone was thrilled and would like to do it again!
I will book again in July for fishing and tour with the family.
Thanks Captain John and First Mate Nate for an incredible day
Get out on the bay everyone!

  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!

  We had an absolutely fantastic time on Captain John’s boat this week. We were looking for a quick two hour tour hitting the highlights of Casco Bay and Portland Harbor... read more and Capt. John delivered: nice little tour of the harbor with some WWII history about the different forts, views of two lighthouses, mackerel fishing, and lobstering. Capt. John kept our three teenage sons engaged as he allowed them to hook and he pulled and measured the eight (!?!) lobsters from the traps. We were also fortunate enough to stumble on a group of porpoises and then swung over to seal rock for some additional entertainment. We couldn’t have asked for a better day, trip and guide to experience Portland’s Harbor.
