Amazing! - My husband and I had a wonderful time. The views of the lighthouses and islands were beautiful. Lauren shared lots of interesting information on the lighthouses, islands, and forts in the area. Captain Nick did an amazing job making sure we had beautiful views the whole time. Couldn't recommend this tour enough. It was so relaxing to just sip champagne and enjoy the amazing scenery. This was our splurge for our Maine trip and it was 100% worth it!

Great Family Experience!. - This was a phenomenal experience with Captain Austin / "Awesome" and Host Jason. They made this a very memorable outing with our entire family (adults and grandchildren) who came from different parts of the country this day. Despite the weather (rainy), the crew made us feel right at easy, provided a lot of local information about what we were seeing, and turned this into a unique and mystical/magical journey. The light houses and wildlife were remarkable; the crew positioning the boat to enable some great photos. Rachael, who was very accommodating and an excellent communicator, was extremely helpful in booking the cruise and keeping us keep up to date as the date approached; she was especially helpful on the day of the cruise to make sure we had all the information needed to make this a good experience. We highly recommend this experience with CASCO BAY CUSTOM CHARTERS.

Lighthouse Tour - What an amazing day for a Lighthouse Tour! Captain Nick was amazing and ordered the perfect weather for our outing. First Mate Brock did an outstanding job informing us of the historical aspects of the lighthouses and surrounding area. Brock was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. We had an amazing afternoon.

A memory to make! - Seeing the lighthouses from the water was great and our deckhand Luke did a great job explaining the sites to us. We liked that he didn’t talk the whole tour but gave us interesting information about Casco Bay and the landmarks and answered all of our questions, and also gave us time to to spend with each other on an amazing trip through the bay.
