It is the best boat ride ever. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The harbor is beautiful. We saw many whales, dolphins and seals.

It's a bit chilly in early October in Maine, but we decided to pile on some clothing and take a cruise anyway. I'm certainly glad we did!
We took the Kennebec River - Bath Cruise which was a 3 hour, 44 mile tour across Boothbay Harbor, up the Kennebec River to Bath and the Iron Works, past the historic Civil...

My boyfriend and I did the 11:30 whale watching tour on October 1. Unfortunatley, we did not get to see any whales (we did see some dolphins though) and although the crew was friendly, its a bad time to go in the fall. We did enjoy the trip 20 miles out into the ocean, but after 3.5 hours of seeing...

We didn't see anything other than birds and because of the poor sound quality we couldn't hear any of the commentary. The fact that you can't make reservations and have to wait on the docks until 10 minutes before boarding when using a rain check is lousy PR. So, I had a bad experience with your company the first time...

My husband and I went on the whale watching trip. It was beautiful! Luckily we opted to sit in the front of the boat even though it was chilly outside but if we had not sat here we would not have seen the one whale that was spotted through the whole trip. It was an amazing site in the distance...

And indeed she does. We saw whales, everybody saw whales. A nice boat, comfy seating inside and out. Food service, clean restrooms. Fast boat, seemed safe and modern. What else you want?

I was having a bad summer but took my mother, cousin and her husband whale watching. I wasn't supposed to be in the sun so I stayed inside. I would have preferred to be topside, but that wasn't their fault. We spotted several Minck whales but not much else. The tour guide was very personable and tried to keep everyone...

Chose this option as it had the best reviews and we had seen promotional leaflet in hotel. Easy to find and a bonus that car parking izs right by the boat. Not to busy in September so easy to get a seat on the top deck. We did see whales , but not as many as I would have liked...
