    Very Good
    2.5K reviews•Google Maps

    Travelers consistently praise the warm, professional crew who clearly love what they do. The captain and staff get high marks for being knowledgeable about the area's marine life, lighthouses, and coastal scenery, often sharing interesting details during trips. Live music adds a fun touch to many cruises, and several guests appreciated how friendly everyone was when answering questions and ensuring passenger safety. The company offers different options including scenic cruises, lighthouse tours, puffin excursions, and a convenient ferry service between Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor. Guests loved spotting seals, puffins, and taking in views of Acadia National Park from the water. The boats themselves are described as beautiful and well-maintained, with an intimate feel that lets you really connect with the experience. Dog owners will be happy to know pets are welcome aboard, making it easy to include the whole family on your outing.
