Casco Bay Maine Tour Boat Trips We Offer

Seal Watch – Private Charters

 

Casco Bay “Explorer” is not your typical BOAT CHARTER.

She’s a smaller vessel (16 passengers maximum), low to the water and open to the skies. Her size allows quick trips from point to point and lets her get in closer than most tour boats, giving you a more personal experience of the sights of Casco Bay!
