Puffin & Nature Cruises

Come Aboard for a Puffin & Nature Cruise!

Every time we steam out of Port Clyde, Maine harbor, we know we’ll encounter some intriguing wildlife amid the stunningly beautiful seascapes that surround us. On this 2 ½ hour cruise, you will encounter a variety of other marine life. 

Available from mid-June to mid-August, our cruise takes you out to Eastern Egg Rock off the coast of Maine to see an Atlantic puffin nesting site and learn about Audubon’s Project Puffin, a model for restoring seabird populations all over the world.

We also keep a lookout for other nature sightings. Have you ever watched a family of harbor seals frolic in the shallows? Or seen a pair of porpoises speed through the water, or a minke whale rise from the surface in a slow arc? 

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.
