Step aboard Avelinda for a private, 2-hour powerboat cruise in Casco Bay timed for moonrise after sunset. Depart from Portland or South Portland and pass lighthouses and islands by night.
Pricing does not include gratuity. There is an additional fee to pick up in Portland; clarify the amount with Greetwell before booking.
Full refund, reschedule, or gift certificate if the operator cancels due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Cancel 7+ days prior for a full refund or reschedule. Cancellations under 7 days, no-shows, or late arrivals are charged full price.
Dress in layers. Bring a windbreaker or warmer layer since it can feel cooler and windier on the water, and it can cool quickly after sunset. Soft-soled shoes work best for moving around on the boat.
Yes. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks of any sort. Pack a cooler if you want to keep items cold.
Bring sunscreen and any sun protection you need (like a sunhat and sunglasses). A raincoat can also be useful.

Travelers consistently praise the intimate sailing experiences led by Captain Bob and his team, particularly highlighting crew members like Lucy, Chloe, Abby, and Nolan. The warmth and professionalism stand out across every review, with guests remarking on how welcomed and comfortable they felt throughout their cruises. The captains share fascinating local knowledge about Maine's coastline, wildlife, and working lobster boats, making the trips educational without feeling like a forced tour. The boats themselves are spotless and well-maintained, equipped with everything guests need for a comfortable outing. Sunset cruises appear especially popular, though midday sails get equally enthusiastic feedback. The husband-and-wife team running many of the trips creates a genuinely hospitable atmosphere, with thoughtful touches like blankets, drinks, and snacks. People appreciate the smooth booking process and describe the overall experience as relaxing yet engaging. It's clearly a family-run operation that takes pride in sharing their home waters with visitors.
The sunset cruise was a magical experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives! Captain Bob and Ella were phenomenal guides and even let my son steer the sailboat and he’s on cloud 9! You should definitely book this cruise!
