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.

Casual, fun and informative - Despite the fog and mist, it was a fun and informative tour. Noah was our guide (unfortunately I don’t remember the captain’s name) and he was fun—and having grown up here, he knew the area well. I’m glad we went, despite the weather.

Wonderful trip- highly recommend - The guide was incredibly informative and made sure the whole boat heard his stories…the only down side of the place we met mentioned where the bathrooms were but did not mention there was no bathroom on the boat- I would have made sure to use it had I known that detail
