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.

What great fun! We took the morning tour a few days ago and loved every part of it. We learned a…read morelot about lobsters, met some really nice people, got a terrific boat ride and came away delighted and maybe even a little better educated about the crustaceans. We highly recommend it. More specifically, we took the 75 minute trip with maybe 15 others on a small lobster boat. It was a breezy day and the boat did a fair amount of rockin' and rollin' to the point that one in our party got seasick. The crew quickly got her a pail, she threw up, and all was fine after that. Passengers are given wrist pressure bands on boarding which helps maybe. Our seasick partner confessed afterwards that she also loved the trip in spite of the brief problem. Watching lobsters hauled on board and learning about their habits was fascinating, and Lauren was a wonderful guide for us. We felt safe always, and just had a blast. The boat dock is located directly behind the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, and you'll have to walk through the resort grounds in the back to get to it. We got lost but only briefly. The trip was $49 per person, which we thought was a bargain considering the fun.

We appreciated the quick actions of the captains getting us back to the marina safely, while still making the tour fun and educational (they were both very friendly and informative). Not only did we learn about lobsters/the lobster industry in Maine, but we also got some background and history surrounding Walker's Point and the Bush family. The parking situation is a little tricky if you've never been. The marina is located behind the Nonantum Resort, which has private parking for resort patrons. You CAN park here even if you're not staying at the Nonantum. Once parked, you'll walk around the back of the property to the marina. The pool for the resort will be directly behind you (surrounded by a white fence). There are also bathrooms just beyond the pool fence (toward the resort and away from the marina) that you can use before or after your tour. We'd definitely do this tour again and I'll be recommending it to friends and family who visit the area.

As a native he knows a lot of the local history and loves to share it with his passengers. He truly has a passion for boating and entertaining. Joe offers the sweetest boat tours. My boss rented a boat just like this for a corporate event and it was a huge hit! Tips: Fishing poles are provided but let them know about fishing in advance so the best bait can be supplied. There's an emergency bathroom on the boat but a better bathroom to use is at the marina and he's able to make stops. Let him know before you get on if you want to swim and he'll take you to a great swimming spot. I use a floaty in the water because I get nervous and it was fine. The boat fits comfortably four adult guests and five if one guest is a child. The boat ride was quite relaxing. We stayed in the river and only ventured into Saco Bay once Captain Joe determined it was going to be a comfortable for everyone.
