Beautiful Portland - What a great experience! Checkin was easy - and we arrived early enough to have a drink before the tour. The weather was amazing on a Sunday evening in October, but it was only us and one other couple - instead of cancelling, they gave us a semi-private cruise of the bay. Captain Pete and Tour guide Danny were perfect hosts - very informative and fun. Would definitely book another tour with SeaPortland.

Great Evening Event in Portland! - Wife and I went on this sunset cruise while visiting Portland. I'll agree with some other reviews that it is a little pricey for what it is.....that said, I am still giving 5 stars. Captain Zack was great and Jonah was super informative and knowledgeable. As advertised, we saw an amazing sunset, and also got a ton of great views for pics. If you are looking for something fun to do in an evening, I receommend the sunset lighthouse cruise.

A great value and so much fun! - This cruise was the highlight of our tour. Captain Sam and deckhand Dany were an absolute delight. Exceptionally knowledgeable and provided insight to the history of the area while not being so drenched in history no one could take a breath…. The perfect pace. We will definitely do this again when we’re back in this area

A fun and scenic evening outing. - There was a chance of showers when we embarked for our evening cruise. As it turned out, our group was the only one signed up for this particular evening, so we had a nice, private tour. Captain Pete and Lauren, the crew, were personable and knowledgeable. The unsettled weather made for dramatic and gorgeous views. When the downpours started, Pete got soaked, but still took us to where we could get good vistas of Portland and some seals. It was our favorite part of our Portland friends' getaway.

Enjoyable - The boat crew was informative and helpful. We enjoyed their personalities.We did anticipate seeing three specific lighthouses as advertised in the cruise materials. Although we did not see those, we did see the Bug lighthouse and the smallest lighthouse in the national registry. We did see a seal and the fins of a couple of dolphins! Although we did get one complimentary beverage, the cruise was overpriced.
