Summary:
Beautiful boat ride around the waters of Portland Maine, got to see a few light houses, many islands, and learn a lot about Portland. Indoor and outdoor seating options, if going in the fall make sure to bring layers, it gets chilly once the sun sets. We had a great tour guide who answered any questions we had!
