Coronavirus Update for Acadian Boat Tours
To all our friends and passengers.
As we continue to navigate these unprecedented times, we have implemented some strategic guidelines for our boat tours:
-
All passengers are required to wear face masks while boarding and while onboard all passenger vessels. (Please note, if this regulation changes – we will update the requirements). Find this under CDC regulations: Order under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 264) and 42 Code of Federal Regulations 70.2, 71.31 (b), 71.32 (b)
- Please maintain a distance of 6’ between parties while waiting to board.
- Our capacities are reduced to approximately 1/3 of original, leaving space to social distance.
- Hand sanitizer is available in several places throughout the boats.
- Our crew sanitizes high traffic and other needed areas between each trip.
- We are using a printed manifest for boarding – and passengers receive either an email or text message to show when boarding (for now, we are not issuing physical tickets).
We will be offering multiple trips daily throughout the 2021 season.
We strongly recommend making a reservation either through our
Ticket office: 207-801-2300 or online as with the limitations of passengers, the trips do tend to fill quickly.
We thank you for your patience and for choosing Acadian Boat Tours for your vacation boat trip!
