They are great! We’ve been going on their cruises for 3 years now. Unfortunately we missed our boat this summer and they were very understanding kind and cooperative. They were nice enough to issue us a credit for next summer!! We can’t wait !

Nubble light house cruise: this was such a lovely and affordable way to wrap up vacation with my friends. An hour and a half with amazing views of all the mansions and then we got to circle Nubble Lighthouse. Captain Kevin was so welcoming and Jonah made the best bloody Mary’s and had the best factual tidbits during the tour! Really lovely staff, and a memorable tour! We will absolutely be back!

We took the lobstering trip today and it was amazing!!! They pulled up about a dozen lobsters from the pots. There were a couple keepers, several too small to keep, and one female with eggs. They showed us how to measure them and which ones they are allowed to keep. The female with eggs was the highlight because they showed us how they mark them and if anyone catches them in the future they will toss her back because only 50% of the females can have babies and keep the population going.

Continuing our weekend excursion to Maine just before we departed, we added in a boat tour. The tour was a short 90-minute powerboat cruise departing from Perkins Cove and taking in the major sights, including the Lighthouse. We departed at 10:00 and were treated to a very smooth adventure. The boat was comfortable; we all had seats and were not packed into tight rows. The crew was amicable and helpful. The tour guide provided just the right amount of commentary and answered everyone’s questions. The tour itself covered all the lovely new homes along the shore and

Nubble Lighthouse Cruise was awesome as always! Pat did a great job as narrator! We had slightly choppy seas made the ride a huge thrill for our 5 year old grandchild. She loved a couple little splashes and the up and down on the waves! The captain did a great job keeping the movement to a minimum!
PS use the public bathrooms at the end of the cove before your ride because any boat bathroom is a challenge.
