I want to start off by saying the captain and host were really nice, the gal giving the information was a doll. Unfortunately she had to jump from one side of the boat to the other to give us all information. I wish she had a headset, mic and speaker so we could all hear at the same time. We booked this sunset tour to see the most famous lighthouse Portland headlight, they told us the waters were too unstable to go. That was a major let down, we understand and never want our safety to be put at risk but that was the main reason we booked this tour.

This tour was really good. I never realized Maine had so many islands. We got to see seals which was great. Our tour guides were amazing. They were very informative and helpful. The only thing that could have been better was if we could have see the sunset (cloudy all day). Overall a great tour.

Intimate boating experience- very friendly and knowledgeable staff. We had a cloudy night and I think the tour was still beautiful. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because it was hard to get the story behind the lighthouses/forts because our guide was walking between the back and front of the boat.

The guide was very hospitable and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. You could tell that he REALLY loves what he does. Took tons of pictures with stories to go with them

I’m so glad I booked this trip! The lighthouses and forts were beautiful and the history (as told by our incredibly knowledgeable guide Sam, who is also very handsome!) was fascinating! The Captain obviously knew what he was doing as the ride was smooth and relaxing! The sunset on the way back was magical. I highly recommend this experience!

Beautiful sunset and a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. The boat ride was amazing, even a little wild with some ocean waves. But it was a fantastic trip.

Over priced for what you get. Boat substituted at last minute was run down. The fires made for a smoggy scenery. Narrator was very good.

Great tours to see the four lighthouses in the Old Port area. Sunset was amazing, and our guide and captain did a great job sharing interesting stories and facts about the area. Great value and we would do this tour again.

Enjoyed the beautiful sunset over Casco Bay, the four lighthouses we got to see, and our guide and captain were both excellent. Great tour that we would do again!

Hard to find where to board. Canned refreshments on board. Small boat. We saw another company had a much cheaper price for a similar trip. May have been size of the vessel. Staff was nice and informative about area and history. Good view of Portland Head Lighthouse from the water
