Embark on an unforgettable boat tour of Casco Bay in Portland, Maine, where nature, history, and natural beauty intertwine. Our journey begins as we glide past the majestic Fort Gorges and historic Fort Scammel. When the tide permits, we are able to disembark onto Fort Gorges for a quick side-adventure. Next, we’ll cruise by the spark plug-style Spring Point Ledge Light perched on the granite breakwater of South Portland. The iconic Portland Head Light awaits us on the rugged cliffs of Cape Elizabeth, offering breathtaking ocean views followed by the eery and majestic abandoned Ram Island Ledge Light. We’ll then marvel at the stunning White Head Cliffs on Cushing Island and navigate through the scenic Diamond Pass, glimpsing all of Peaks Island's charm. Our adventure culminates at Half Way Rock, where we will hope to spot seals basking on their favorite sun-drenched rocks. Join us for this captivating tour, unveiling Maine’s rich heritage and natural splendor!

Q&A

Q: What should I wear on the boat tour? Is it chilly out on the water?

A: Definitely dress in layers! It can get chilly out on the water, especially with the breeze. I'd recommend a light jacket or a sweater, and maybe even a hat. Also, wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking around Fort Gorges if the tide allows it. Don’t forget sunscreen if it’s sunny!

Q: How's the parking situation near the boat launch in Portland?

A: There’s a decent lot near the launch, but it fills up fast during the summer. I’d recommend getting there at least 30 minutes early to snag a spot. If it’s full, there’s street parking nearby, but be sure to check the signs so you don’t get a ticket!

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids? My kids are under 10.

A: Absolutely! The tour is great for families. Just make sure to message them with your kids' ages and weights for life jacket sizing. They’ll love the sights, especially the seals at Half Way Rock! Just keep an eye on them around the water.

Just got back from the Casco Bay boat tour! Amazing experience!

I just did the sightseeing boat tour in Portland's Casco Bay and wow, it was incredible! The views of the Portland Head Light were breathtaking, and we even got to hop off at Fort Gorges. The guide was super knowledgeable about the history too. If you’re thinking about gifting this experience, do it! My parents loved it!

Considering the Casco Bay tour as a birthday gift

I’m thinking about getting my sister a ticket for the Casco Bay boat tour in Portland for her birthday. She loves the ocean and history! Just worried about sea sickness since she gets queasy. Anyone had issues with that?
