Quietside Cruises

Our wooden lobster boat, the Elizabeth T. was built right here on Mount Desert Island out of local cedar and oak. She carries up to 21 passengers, making a perfect size boat for sightseeing, island picnics, and lobster fishing demonstrations. Join us on one of our cruises or book your own private charter.

We'll visit a seal colony on East Bunker Ledge and see the 100 year old Osprey nest on Sutton Island.

This excursion is a real hands-on experience great for the whole family and full of wildlife and local knowledge.
