    Amazing experience! The guides were very personable and knowledgeable. We got a first hand look…read moreat how lobsters are farmed, got to see the compound of former president Bush, and see some seals on Bumpkin Island. We brought a small soft sided cooler with us and had some snacks and a couple of adult beverages while we enjoyed looking at the beautiful Maine coastline. There is a large parking lot right next to the boat docks where you can park for a small fee. Parking is good for the day and there are a ton of shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend taking this tour...it was one of the highlights of our trip to Maine.

    8-6-25. Went with a group of about 15 people. We took a…read more"lobster tour" cruise which was only about an hour and a half long. Which was perfect because it's not a long off shore whale watching trip where you're going to get bored and possibly not see anything but water. This excursion takes you only a short distance from the shore and you're able to view land at all times. The boat was clean and comfortable. The captain was a friendly fellow and pretty funny. He did a nice job explaining some of the history of the area, pointed out some noteable waterfront homes and who their owners were and pulled up a few lobster traps from the water to get a close up and learn a little more about the delicious crustaceans. The trip is reasonably priced (which is a plus for any family vacationing in the area because EVERYTHING here is pretty expensive). The weather was excellent and my group had a really nice time with the crew and other folks on the tour with us. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to fill a few hours throughout the day and gain a little local knowledge of the area.

    David and Liam were amazing! Very funny and knowledgeable about the area and lobster fishing. We…read moreeven were able to see some seals swimming around. It was a cool experience, and I never thought I'd hold a lobster!

    Of course, no whales are *promised* on this cruise, but we did happen to see a few mini-breaches…read morewhen we were the farthest out we could really go. The drawbacks are that it's a hike to get to Kennebunkport. Its a tourist town and crowded AF in the summer... all the things I don't like. That comes with the territory. The vessel, while not overly crowded, does not have the best seating in the world. If you have a bad back, as I do, there is limited seating that has adequate back support. All the demanding hags will claim as many of the seats as they can for non-present family members. Advise you to get there as early as you can, get in the queue, and push all the Karens out of the way so you can get your claim to the best possible seat. Lots of little scamps running around (in the summer) too. That being said, the whales do not have scheduled showing on certain sides of the boat. We were lucky to see the first breach on our side... but in total the number and scale of the breaches was a little underwhelming. The commute for the vessel in/out of the harbour and to/from the farthest point was major sleepy time. I would not do it again. They do offer vouchers that are (supposedly) infinitely good to come back if there were no whale sightings. The price is not so bad though. If you want to experience a lengthy boat ride, then this is for you.
