About This Tour
Depart with us from bustling Portland Harbor as we tour one of Maine’s most picturesque boating destinations. Casco Bay is littered with islands, historic forts, wildlife, birds, and lighthouses and our unique 14-passenger RIB boat is suited to tour the region while everyone gets a front-row seat so you can see and experience more of it. Learn about Portland’s nautical history, view wildlife like seals, harbor porpoises, and sea birds, and stop for photos at quintessential sights like all four lighthouses, Fort Gorges, seals, and the working waterfront while also escaping to lesser-known areas of the bay where wildlife viewing is the best. This is a unique tour that is unmatched in the breadth of its experience with a local captain to guide you and answer your questions about the region. Please join us for the Best Of Casco Bay!
