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. 

Quietside Cruise:  10AM to 1:30PM

Cruise into Somes Sound Fjord and haul a lobster trap!  Learn all about lobsters and how fishermen bait and trap them. We'll visit a seal colony on East Bunker Ledge and see the 100 year old Osprey nest on Sutton Island.  We'll also cruise by Bear Island Lighthouse and Cranberry Island where a fishing community is anchored after 200 years!  This excursion is a real hands-on experience great for the whole family and full of wildlife and local knowledge. 

Adults $25, Children under 12 $15
