    Considering the quality of the experience, the delicious food, the excellent service & the…read morespectacular setting, this was quite the bargain! For $100 (cash or check only), you receive a 55-minute narrated boat tour, a bonafide Downeast feast (fish chowder, 1 lb. of steamers, 2 lobsters, corn on the cob, a baked potato, an onion, a hard-boiled egg, a large piece of blueberry cake & either coffee, tea, iced tea or water). You can purchase sodas ($2) or alcoholic beverages. We indulged in the light & tasty Cabbage Island Aide ($10), with Pinnacle blueberry vodka, pink lemonade & a splash of club soda garnished with Maine blueberries. Only cash is accepted for drinks and gift shop purchases. After finding a picnic table, either indoors or out, your server will take your drink order & bring your fish chowder. Shortly afterwards, the dinner bell will ring & you head down to the pit where the food is cooked to pick up your meal. Our delightful young server, Griffin, graciously offered to pick up our trays & bring them to our table. He remained attentive & solicitous the entire time we were there. We couldn't have asked for better service. There is a gratuity jar on each table. Tip generously! These kids do a fabulous job! We were also pleased that the two Moore brothers who have owned this family business for 38 years stopped by every table individually to ensure that all were having a good time. And at the end of the day, they stood on the dock waving as our boat left Cabbage Island. Such a gracious gesture! I'm looking forward to making this an annual event. Please be aware, though, that parking is expensive in Boothbay Harbor. There is metered street parking, if you can find an open spot, but be prepared to walk a distance to the ticket booth. Close by lot parking cost $50.

    OMG, a great day. The Moore family has there clambake down perfectly. Each boat handles 180…read morepassengers. our trip today had 178 people. A perfect day of absolute precision.

I can't believe I ate it all except for the egg & baked potato. My wife brought home 1 of her lobsters for me to have a sandwich tomorrow for lunch. Awesome wife Can't say enough of how great the excursion is. Don't forget to tip the kids. Personally I left $10.00 on my table . I think that was appropriate, at least I hope so. Cash only for the trip No credit cards Boothbay Harbor is an amazing place. On the ride into Boothbay there are approximately 150 flags or more attached to telephone polls saluting fallen soldiers. Very sobering y pictures show the rest. R
