Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the boat?

A: No age limit! Kids are welcome, and it’s actually great for family gatherings. Just make sure to keep an eye on them since it’s a boat, and there’s some open water. The captain is very accommodating and can help ensure everyone stays safe and enjoys the ride.

Q: What should we wear for this boat tour in Portland?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly on the water, even in summer. A light jacket or hoodie is a good idea. And don't forget comfy shoes—flip-flops are fine, but something more secure is better if you have kids or plan to move around.

Q: Can we bring our own food and drinks?

A: Absolutely! You can bring your own food and drinks, which is perfect for a picnic vibe. They provide all the utensils and glassware you'll need. Just make sure it’s easy to eat on a boat, and you’ll have plenty of space in the cooler they provide.

Thinking of booking the private boat tour for my birthday!

I’m super excited about the Large Group Private Wooden Boat tour in Portland for my birthday next month! We’re a group of 10 friends, and I love that it’s all private. Can’t wait to see the lighthouses and enjoy some local beers onboard. Any tips on what food to bring?

Just came back from the boat tour—best day ever!

Wow, we just did the private boat tour in Casco Bay and it was incredible! The captain showed us all the lighthouses and we even saw a pod of seals. The wooden boat was so charming, and we loved being able to bring our own snacks and drinks. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun day out with friends!
