Overview

Embark on an unforgettable boat tour of Casco Bay in Portland, Maine, where nature, history, and natural beauty intertwine. Our journey begins as we glide past the majestic Fort Gorges and historic Fort Scammel. When the tide permits, we are able to disembark onto Fort Gorges for a quick side-adventure. Next, we’ll cruise by the spark plug-style Spring Point Ledge Light perched on the granite breakwater of South Portland.

The iconic Portland Head Light awaits us on the rugged cliffs of Cape Elizabeth, offering breathtaking ocean views followed by the eery and majestic abandoned Ram Island Ledge Light. We’ll then marvel at the stunning White Head Cliffs on Cushing Island and navigate through the scenic Diamond Pass, glimpsing all of Peaks Island's charm. Our adventure culminates at Half Way Rock, where we will hope to spot seals basking on their favourite sun-drenched rocks. Join us for this captivating tour, unveiling Maine’s rich heritage and natural splendour!

This nautical perspective highlights Spring Point Ledge Light’s rugged charm and the captivating beauty of Maine’s coastline, making it a must-see landmark for any maritime enthusiast.
Portland Head Light (Pass by)
As we sail closer than all other companies can, Portland Head Light rises majestically from the rocky cliffs of Cape Elizabeth; the lighthouse’s stark white tower contrasting beautifully against the deep blue sky. You can almost hear the echoes of history as you imagine the countless ships guided safely by its beacon. From the water, you get an unparalleled view of this iconic landmark, its charm enhanced by the surrounding natural beauty. This maritime perspective truly captures the essence of Maine’s rugged coastline and the enduring legacy of Portland Head Light.
