    Amazing experience

    Riad_M, Oct 2025
    The crew was amazing! Very fun and they were so knowledgeable we will definitely be doing this again.

    Team Off-Site success!

    We had a lovely time with captain Zack and our deck hand, Maria! The weather was a little dicey at first, but we got some sunshine and calm seas for the journey back to the dock. Both Zack and Maria were very knowledgeable of the area lighthouses, forts, and island. We also saw a seal, a sea lion, a bald eagle, and lots of other native bird species. We brought our own breakfast aboard, and enjoyed some soft drinks provided by the boat company. Would highly recommend this experience!

    Fun afternoon

    Great way to kill two hours with beautiful sights. The Marie L was clean. The crew had many insights about the history of Portland and the islands around.. She was a knowledgeable deckhand and a great tour guide. Very upbeat and friendly. We saw lighthouses, forts, loons, seals and lots of other boats.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you, Julie! We’re so glad you enjoyed your afternoon aboard the Marie L. Between the lighthouses, forts, seals, and loons, it sounds like a picture-perfect couple of hours on Casco Bay. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to your captain and deckhand — they love sharing their knowledge and making each trip fun and memorable. We’d be happy to have you back anytime!
