Captain Zach and mate, Lauren, were very good at their jobs. We were lucky to see beautiful scenery, great lighthouses, and enjoy the perfect weather. We highly recommend it!

This was an awesome tour! We were a family of 7 and fit comfortably on the boat. Staff was very knowledgeable about the area and provided delicious treats for us to snack on during the tour. We would highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a day out on the water!!!

For some reason, I do not see my old review. Our boat trip was amazing. Our food was locally sourced and delicious. The day was perfect providing my husband and myself alone time. We enjoyed every minute cruising right by local shorelines. We were educated in some of the local landmarks, as well. Great thing to experience and get a real feel for local fisheries and fishing industry in the area. I highly recommend this excursion!

Our party of 4 booked a 2 hour tour with Casco Bay Custom Charters and it was the highlight of our trip. Communication and information provided before the scheduled tour was great. The crew was awesome. Very informative and friendly. The pickup point was easy to find. The boat was spacious and comfortable for our party of 4. We ordered the Charcuterie Board and the Mezze Board, which were both delicious. The boat tour was relaxing and the scenery was lovely. We highly recommend booking a tour with Casco Bay Custom Charters.

This was our 2nd trip aboard this boat, and we loved it just as much as the previous time. A comfortable, relaxing, and informative trip around Casco Bay, with wine and a beautiful charcuterie plate. The captain and first mate were excellent - was a highlight of our weekend trip.

While we were concerned this would be “hokey,” any time on a boat has to be good. Were we delighted! Our Captain, Zach, was extremely professional and completed focused on safe travel and the perfect vantage point of each area we toured. First Mate Jason, a native like Zach, was a wealth of information and history of the area. Jason had a way of telling you enough, but then understanding proper hosting by allowing plenty of gaps in his stories to allow Hubs and I to chat alone. Chef Jody’s six-course meal was splendid. It was fine restaurant quality made with local-sourced ingredients, beautifully plated. We wished we’d had a lighter lunch, but take-out boxes assured nothing went to waste. We’d consider this a true Portland must!

My husband and I booked the private sunset charter as part of our honeymoon at the end of July and it was one of the best experiences we have ever had. The tour guide was so friendly and knew exactly what he was talking about. The history of the forts and lighthouses around Casco Bay was so interesting and was enhanced by the sheer beauty of it all at sunset. Casco Bay (and Portland in general) is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in person. As newly weds, this was an experience that will allow us to remember our honeymoon for the rest of our lives.

Thank you Captain Zack and Mike for a fantastic lighthouse tour. We were 4 adults and 2 small children, something for everyone - history, wild life (we saw seals and a sunfish) and a spectacular sunny day out on the water. Thank you for making this a perfect family outing. Highly recommended.

Amazing time. My family and I stayed outside Portland for the second leg of our Maine vacation. We booked the private sunset cruise with private chef. This was a surprise for our mom. It was definitely a highlight on our trip. We had excellent weather. The captain did a great job of navigating us around the bay (no sea sickness) our hostess did a wonderful job of answering our questions and educating us on this beautiful area. Hands down though to our chef who did an amazing job in such a tiny space of preparing the most delicious food. If you are having any doubts about this cruise ( or I’d imagine any of their cruises) DON’T !!! Our family had an amazing time and if ever in the area wouldn’t hesitate to book again. It was our second to last night on vacation and the PERFECT ending to a memorable trip !!!

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary aboard the Monhegan with Mike and Captain Zach. They could not have been more accommodating and informative about all of the landmarks (forts, lighthouses, etc.) that we saw. Just a beautiful experience that left us with an everlasting memory of our special day. These are professionals and will make sure you have a great and safe trip on the water.

Great way to spend a couple of hours on the sea. The crew are great, struck a perfect balance between pointing out interesting sites and allowing you to take in the quietness on the water. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

We had a great time! Weather was iffy but turned out wonderful. Captain Tom and Sasha were amazing Couldn’t recommend it more!

We booked this boat charter as a special gift for grandparents. Everything was perfect, our family of 6 watched a beautiful sunset together. The boat was clean, food was available and beverages were frequently poured in our compostable glasses. I can say that we'll never forget how warm the crew members were with us, if felt like being among friends.

Perfect trip to see the Casco Bay islands and lighthouses. Scenery is great for the entire trip. Had food on the trip which was very good. Would certainly do this trip again.

Wonderful evening! Thank you Thomas and Petra for a fun and relaxing view of Portland by water on a stunner of a boat! Highly recommend!
