We can control a lot of things, but the weather is not one of them. We only ever start our Casco Bay tours if the weather allows it. Even when conditions are safe for Maine experiences, a particular plan might be less than ideal. Before every trip, especially our private boat charters, we always talk about what to expect, gauge your comfort level, and make changes as needed.
Almost all of our private boat charters are tailored for your group of up to six, ensuring that you are the only passengers enjoying the journey. The only regularly scheduled non-private charters are the Cruise Passenger Excursions, which are a popular choice among those looking for unique Casco Bay tours and unforgettable Maine experiences.
With its perfect blend of inhabited and uninhabited islands, Casco Bay is the ideal backdrop for your Maine getaway.

Every cruise on our private boat charters comes with an LL Bean Boat and Tote Bag filled with snacks and treats that showcase the best of Maine experiences.
