Nice tour - The tour was quite pleasant, the crew were friendly and informed about the light houses and other residential areas. We saw several seals pop their heads out of the water close to the boat.

Great tour - This was a great way to see so many lighthouses and the surrounding area. Being able to sit and be warm and have a wonderful narrator was excellent. So much history told very well.

Highly Recommended - Wonderful tour guide, very informative and entertaining. Very clean and a lot of areas to move around. Options for sitting outside on the deck or inside to stay warm were great offering the same views.

Great harbor tour, with a fantastic tour guide. - The harbor tour was very interesting, as the tour guide was so well informed. We didn’t realize all of the history here. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time except for about the first 10 minutes. We can’t downgrade our opinion of the tour, it was still excellent, but we had to stay inside, and it was crowded, so not so easy to see the points of interest. Nothing a person can do about that!

Great boat cruise - Great docent, Karen. Her historical references came to life with her rendition of life in Portland. This was one of our top favorites in Portland. The boat was comfortable and the views were great.
