We took the tour with Captin Jack based on the reveiws with advisor. I would not say that I was disappointed I just feel it could have been a lot better.

This was a once in a life time experience that you should definitely try if your in Maine! We not only caught lobsters but we also caught crab. Captain jack is very informative and entertaining.

If you want to experience the midcoast and know where your lobster comes from that this is for you. Not only do you get to go on a delightful tour of the coastal Rockland harbor but you will watch Steve "Captin Jack" Hale haul lobster traps right onto the boat!!!! More
