Maine ❤️ Kennebec River Cruise, Boothbay
On Sunday we went out in a boat again with the Cap’n Fish Cruises out of Boothbay Harbor. It was AWESOME!
We had signed up for the scenic Kennebec River Cruise which was a 3-hour excursion that went by much too fast. We saw wildlife, lighthouses, shipbuilders, an old Fort, beaches, and incredible shorelines. We also got to play on the ocean catching some decent waves.
The boat offered quite a few great seating options plus had a cafe with snacks and drinks. Ron had a Maine Beer with some blueberries in it actually tasted good. I had a Bloody Mary that was nice and spicy:
Open Sea and Close to Shore Cruising!
This fabulous 44-mile trip offers a variety of nature as well as historical and modern man-made structures!
From raptors to ducks or great blue herons to black guillemots, the list of bird sightings is long. You might see terns at their nesting site on Pond Island in the spring and loons in the fall. Look up at the colorful changing leaves in September to see other migrating birds, and don’t forget to look down for seals and porpoises!
With close to shore and open sea cruising you’ll even pass through Upper and Lower Hell Gates, see up to 7 lighthouses, and historic Fort Popham – dating back to the colonial days. Then let your captain bring you up to date on the latest modern day ship building projects at Bath Iron Works.
In the fall, this is one of best trips for leaf peepers to view the colorful fall foliage!
For those thinking of visiting this area this is a great way to explore and then go on your own back to the places you want to discover more about. I personally would like to check out Popham Beach should we get back here one summer.
