Have you ever seen a stout little puffin busily flapping its short wings as it zooms overhead? Have you watched a family of harbor seals frolic in the shallows? Have you seen a pair of porpoises speed through the water, or a minke whale rise from the surface in a slow arc?Monhegan Boat Line's Puffin Pete

Come with us on a nature cruise! Every time we steam out of Port Clyde harbor, we know we’ll encounter some intriguing wildlife amid the stunningly beautiful seascapes that surround us. We’ll take you out to Eastern Egg Rock to see an Atlantic puffin nesting site and learn about Project Puffin, a model for restoring seabird populations all over the world. In addition to puffins, we’re always on the lookout for other seabirds, including rare ones.

As we go along, we always provide expert commentary on all that we see, including the area’s rich lobstering history and nature. Watch and learn as we haul a lobster trap just as lobstermen have done for centuries. This cruise always receives rave reviews from passengers of all ages.
