Captain Joe will take you on a private two hour cruise of the Saco River. Passengers can look for seals, bald eagles, and leaping fish, or simply enjoy the serenity of the river as we cruise the river up to the Saco Dam, back down to Camp Ellis, and out into Saco Bay. Our boat, the Ruby Belle, is designed so children can safely peer over the side into the water and she has an easy "step-down" into the boat from dockside.
The river speeds are limited by law so cruisers can expect a quiet, stable, and safe experience. Captain Joe grew up near the water and always hoped to work on the ocean. But life would take Captain Joe off to the world of computers and a successful career in data security. He still stayed on and around the water, accumulating enough time on the ocean to qualify for his captain's license - a life long goal.

My wife and I can’t say enough nice things about the wonderful boat ride with Captain Joe. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting every step of the way. More importantly, he was very kind and answered all questions we had about the area.
We couldn’t have been happier with our experience and would highly recommend his tour if you are visiting Maine.

Joe did an amazing job on reaching out to us before hand an where to go and what to do prior to the cruise. On the day of the cruise we met him at the agreed upon time and had his boat the Ruby Belle, a nice story on how he came up with that name, and got boarded and we were off. Joe did an awesome job on giving my wife and I the history of the area along with good information about areas to visit while we were in Maine. I will definitely contact him again and can’t wait to come back to Maine for a visit!!

Captain Joe was absolutely amazing! He made us all feel very comfortable from the beginning to the end of our tour. Kid friendly, he stopped so that my younger brother can take a dive in the Saco river and provided a fishing pole where he caught his first salt water fish. We all had a blast! He is very informative on the different wild life and surrounding areas! Greatly appreciated & highly recommended!
