The host a Primo had to call him for us when we became panicked and he answered that call right away. Very stressful after a very nice dinner, which was ruined by this. Never responded to my calls, he did eventually pick us up at 11:15 and claimed he doesn't answer the phone while driving or take rides after 11 because he's made enough money by then. It's possible he came from his house, in which case he could have picked up my call. We told him we would need a ride later back to our hotel and he acknowledged that when dropping us off. He DOES NOT schedule pickups, fine, but answer the call until 11, it was a two minute ride back into Rockland. (not Camden as I said prior, but the rest of the facts stand.)

We booked Darcy and team to help transport guests to our wedding ceremony, from ceremony to…read morereception and back home and highly recommend them for any other couple. We used a bus and 2 14 passengers vans which were clean, safe, comfortable and very nice. They're a busy bunch, so communication was sometimes a little spotty when planning, but there wasn't any question about commitment. Darcy met up with us the day before to drive the routes and even ended up finding us time efficiency in our schedule. They're fairly priced (although transportation is not cheap!) and well worth it!

Here is a real review based on a real experience (not random 5-start reviews from CA and WA for a…read morecompany in Maine). Country Coach Charter pulled the old bait-and-switch on me, pocketed my deposit, and refused to refund me the money back when I received the invoice (months before the date of service) with services we did not agree on. Several months before my wedding, I requested a coach bus with air conditioning that seats 50. Darcy immediately responded and asked me to fill out a form on her website and submit the deposit, and she would immediately send over the invoice. Wanting to lock down transportation, I foolishly did so as I thought this was a honest, business relationship. When I finally received the invoice, it was for a a shuttle bus that doesn't even seat 50, with no air conditioning in the middle of summer (the shuttle bus wasn't even pictured on their website or facebook page). When I respectfully emailed back immediately saying that this is not what we agreed on, and if I could receive my deposit back, Darcy did not respond for months, after repeated calls and emails. My CC company would not refund me the money either due to filling out the form on her website first (which was my mistake). I am very disappointed that CC of Maine would conduct business in this manner, and am personally insulted that they wouldn't even return my phone calls or emails, even as I was being respectful. I hope that people will learn from my experience.

My first interaction with Peter was actually by telephone, accusing him of fake TripAdvisor…read morereviews... turns out, they are NOT FAKE and he is an amazing guy. My wife and I decided to go with him because he was a lot more flexible than his competitors, Old Quarry. First of all, Peter basically catered the tour to our needs. Second of all, his prices were worth the small group attention. Third, Old Quarry has a terrible website and Peter's is great. We have both kayaked before, so we wanted something half-day that would provide a short intro and then get us into some small coves. What we got was wonderful. First, Peter went over sea kayaking safety and the game plan (To be honest, this part needs to be shortened up, but I think that will happen organically as the season progresses). Then, we took the boats down and put into the water at Naskeag Point. We kayaked around and went to Sellers Island for lunch. Peter told us all about the islands and about this cool kayak trail they have where you can camp for free on these small islands. We wandered some more after lunch and started heading back. We asked Peter about his experiences on El Camino - he has some amazing stories! When we got back to his house, he let us shower and stuff before heading to our B&B up the road for dinner. You can book rooms at the house and we would have done this if we'd known about it before we booked our other accommodations. It was really a lovely trip, and we hope to pass through again someday.

He did a wonderful job tailoring our experience so that it was the right level for our kids, but was still an exciting adventure for all of us. Penobscot Bay is probably one of the nicest, most beautiful places to sea kayak I can imagine. I am not an expert, but his equipment was top notch, which made the paddling easy and our experience more comfortable. I had been worried that our younger son would lose steam, and he was usually out ahead! I can't recommend Peter enough and we hope we are lucky enough to do another trip with him at some point.

Randomly stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for lunch while on our drive up from Portland to Bar…read moreHarbor. We sat in the bar area at a table and had the place to ourselves. The place is super cozy and rustic - all dark wood, fire places, etc. We had no expectations going in and we were very happy with the food and the service. The chef came by and even sat down with us for a bit to give us some dining recommendations while we were in Maine - he also happened to be from or once lived in NJ like us. We each had an order of the gumbo and shared a side of onion rings. The gumbo was tasty and the perfect portion. The onion rings were also really good with the dipping sauce. We decided to share a piece of blueberry cheesecake before we hit the road and had zero regrets. It was a really pleasant meal and I would recommend this restaurant if you are in Searsport.

Homeport Tavern has fallen so far in the last six months it should honestly file a missing persons…read morereport for its former self. The menu shrank, the quality tanked, and the prices shot up like they're trying to qualify for a Michelin star through sheer confidence. The mussels appetizer was... geological. There was so much sand in them my husband stopped eating for fear of cracking a tooth. When your seafood doubles as dental shrapnel, something has gone very wrong. Then came the special of the day: fettuccine with mussels, shrimp, andouille sausage, peppers, artichokes, and capers -- which arrived in the exact same broth as the mussels appetizer, complete with the exact same bread crusts perched on top like a practical joke. It genuinely felt like they took the leftover broth from our appetizer, tossed in noodles and whatever ingredients were within arm's reach, and called it a "special." The only special thing about it was the audacity. My husband's house made Caesar with "blackened" chicken was another plot twist. The chicken wasn't blackened; it was just overcooked grilled chicken wearing the name "blackened" like a fake ID. The dressing tasted store‑bought -- the shelf‑stable kind you buy when you've given up -- which is not what anyone expects from something advertised as house made. Our friends' cheeseburger tasted like it came straight from a freezer box, and the bun had all the personality of a dinner roll from a school cafeteria. Honestly, the cafeteria comparison is unfair -- cafeterias at least know they're cafeterias. The singer was genuinely talented -- truly good -- but the volume was set to "jet engine," so we had to yell to hear each other at a table small enough that whispering should have worked. It was like attending a concert you didn't buy tickets for while trying to eat food you didn't want. Service was a whole separate adventure. Slow, forgetful, and consistently off. Our server forgot multiple items, including onion rings that never arrived, and one friend didn't get her food until the rest of us were done. No apologies, just repeated reminders that they were short staffed, followed by more short‑staffed service. We tipped 20% anyway, which the server seemed extremely grateful for -- probably because she knew exactly how the night had gone. Homeport used to be great. Now it's a place where you go to mourn what it used to be while eating food that tastes like it's mourning too.
