What's included in Private Sunset Charter on a Vintage Lobster Boat with Drinks
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Casco BayPass-by Only
With over 200 islands that are home to both tiny coastal fishing towns and Maine's largest city, Casco Bay is vibrant, scenic, and a great way to experience Maine's incredible beauty, world-class cuisine, and wonderful boating opportunities.
Spring Point Ledge LighthousePass-by Only
Get up close to Spring Point Light and nearby Fort Preble, a small gun emplacement built as a part of Portland's Harbor Defenses. In the early years, the lighthouse was not connected to the mainland by the granite breakwater that exists today, and ships that went on the wrong side of the lighthouse went aground on shallow ledge.
Bug Light ParkPass-by Only
This is the smallest and first of four lighthouses we will encounter on our cruise through Casco Bay. On windy days, keep an eye out for gatherings of expert kite flyers and their colorful kites. Sometimes there's even a giant purple octopus floating lazily in the breeze! Just around the corner from Bug Light is a statue of the bow of a Liberty Ship. Many ships were constructed here during WWII, including the S.S. Jeremiah O'Brien, which is a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco and one of the only surviving Liberty Ships.
