Charter Adventures

  Fantastic lobstering adventure! Captain John is knowledgeable, kind, and friendly. We even got to keep 4 LOBSTERS!!! One of the best charters we’ve ever done! 5 star adventure!

  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!!

  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!

  John led us on a great trip. He was awesome and patient with our small children. We learned more about the islands and Portland as well. Highly recommend Casco Bay... read more Adventures.

  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 great time on the bay with Captain John. Seeing the lighthouses and coastline from water was just beautiful. The lobstering was loads of fun for the kids.... read more Captain John even let our teens take the helm which they will never forget. He is very knowledgeable about the area and we felt like we were in very capable hands. Would definitely recommend a charter with Casco Bay Adventures if you're in the area.

  We turned our two hour cruise into three since we were having a good time. The weather was perfect and Captain John was willing to modify the tour to our... read more interests.Great local history lesson as we exited the marina.

Took a nice trip out to the lighthouse and the dropped poles into the water to catch Mackerel! After we had some bait in the boat we headed over to House island to try and catch Striper, we got a couple bumps but nothing on the line, but had a good time trying with a nice cool breeze.

We stowed the fishing gear and suited up to handle the lobster traps, checked a couple and came away with a keeper lobster. Great teaching moment on how Maine manages the lobster population.

We headed back in to the dock to band the lobster claws and then called it a good day with Capt. John

  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
