Book this boat trip! - A great outing! The boat ride was cancelled on Saturday due to extremely high winds. The company called us and asked if we wanted to rebook for Sunday or if we wanted a full refund. We were still going to be in Bar Harbor so we rebooked and had a wonderful time! Lasted about an hour and a half. Only thing I’d change is that it was hard to hear over the loudspeakers for any info they were trying to tell us. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend!

Leisurely outing - The views were amazing. We took so many photos. Favorite part was going by the island where eagles nest and we got to see two adult bald eagles and a young one flying overhead.

Meh - Was ok, but should sail near interesting points, not simply a big circle. Will probably not repeat, doubt i recommend.

Underwhelming cruise - The boat pulled out of the dock, travelled a less than a mile out and returned. There were several small islands the ship could have sailed around. Not worth the money
