  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!

  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 read more nature to historical references of WW II.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.

  I'm biased, for sure, but 3 girls aged 6, 7, & 9 and 2 adults had a great time with Capt. John and... read more

  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 a wonderful afternoon with Captain John. We learned about local lighthouses, forts and lobsters. Captain John made the afternoon fun for the kids ages 7-10 and each got... read more to drive the boat. I highly recommend this as any add on to your time in the Portland area.

  We booked a custom trip that included Fort Gorges, fishing for Mackerel, seeing seals and lighthouses, and watching some lobster pots being lifted. All communication done ahead of time was... read more either through e-mail or phone and was timely and all the details were clearly outlined...More

  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. He is... read more extraordinarily knowledgeable and it was a privilege and pleasure to learn so much about Casco Bay and the land that touches it. 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!
