We also feature views of lighthouses, the vintage homes of Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Seal Harbor, and the quaint village of Southwest Harbor. Cruise with us through Frenchman Bay or Somes Sound into the only fjord on the East Coast. Take in the historical lighthouses of our area! We have naturalists who will keep you informed about the wildlife we are seeing and are happy to answer any questions you may have.

We have four boats, the Acadian, the Islander the Eden Star AND our six-passenger private charter boat — the  Rambler. Our Bar Harbor cruises are clean and family-oriented and the Acadian & Eden Star are pet-friendly!  The boats offer a small snack bar, restrooms, and the large boats also have a heated, indoor cabin. However, please bring a warm jacket or sweater with you on all of our cruises, as temperatures on the water are cooler than they are on shore.

We provide great trips for the entire family or group. Reservations are always recommended. Dates and times vary by trip chosen. Please see our trip schedule for details. We have plenty of free parking on site for guests while on one of our Acadian nature cruises.
