An amazing evening on the water of history and scenery. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Barrett, the Captain and Nico the first mate were well informed on all the sites and did a great job. Bring your own wine and or food.

Great boat ride. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Eat at Luke’s prior to the tour.

This sunset cruise is a must-do! Nick’s mix of humor and history kept us captivated, and Captain Greg was excellent. We learned so much about the lighthouses, islands, and even the boat itself. A beautiful, educational, and fun experience!

The boat was awesome and on a day with some swells, they kept the boat in calmer waters so we could still see everything while not getting sea sick. The even put down a cover to keep us warm on a chillier day so do not let cold weather or some waves deter you as captain Greg keeps the experience amazing!

This was very relaxing. If you’re looking to just relax and take in the views this is it. If you’re looking for a tour with someone talking and giving info throughout, this is not the tour for you.

Very pleasant learning tour. We toured around the islands and lighthouses and loved just seeing all of it and learning about it

This was a pleasant trip, just a bit chilly on a September evening--be prepared! Seating was a little uncomfortable for those of us over 60--no chairs, just a backless bench low off the ground. We were a bit disappointed that there wasn't any narration--we were hoping the crew would at least point out the lighthouses & major landmarks.

Bundle up, gets a lil chilly. But coop views of the bay and hearing some of the stories from the captain and first mate added a nice touch. Also live in the area but first time really watching the sunset over the city. We plan to do more boat tours in the future

It was fun traveling to the different lighthouses in the area! Our captain and crew were very knowledgeable about the area, water did get a little rough out by the Portland Headlight but it was totally worth it!

Our trip was canceled by tour company the afternoon it was scheduled. Unable to rebook due to our schedule
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Wendy, we had refunded you when we canceled your tour due to our captain being sick.

Captain Colby and First Mate Erica were fabulous! They were welcoming and so skillful at handling the boat. It was a misty, cool evening with a drizzling rain. Although there was no visible sunset-there was a magic to the evening. Watching the seals lounging on the rocks and swimming in the bay was a delight.
The lighthouses had a dreamy look in the rain. Captain Colby maneuvered the boat so we did not feel the slight chop in the water.
I highly recommend this sunset cruise- slight drizzle or shine!
Response from Host, Jun 2025

This was a great way to end our day on Saturday! We grabbed an early dinner at 4:30 and had plenty of time to make the 6:30 boarding. The views were amazing and Captain Josh and Deckhand Dan were super helpful and informative. Would do it again:)

The captain was local and a wealth of information about the area and history. They asked us what we wanted to see and do on our trip. The weather was perfect. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants see the area but not spend a day on the water.

Captains Evan and Josh were a lot of fun and Knowledgeable. Live being on the water. Got to see the big lighthouse from land earlier I the day and by sea in the evening
Response from Host, Aug 2024
We are so glad you had a great time, Laurie! Seeing the lighthouse from both view points is a must in our opinion, and we're glad you were able to do so. Thank you for cruising with us!

Very relaxed and fun, don't forget to bring food and drink! It is a little crowded but not bad. Good for family or a couple, I wouldn't go with your friend(s).
