What to Expect

🦞 What to Expect

Climb aboard The Out & About for an unforgettable afternoon exploring one of Maine's oldest traditions before finishing the day with one of its most spectacular sunsets.

This isn't just a boat tour—it's an authentic, small-group experience that combines hands-on lobster fishing, an iconic Maine lobster feast, and a peaceful sunset cruise across the waters of beautiful Penobscot Bay.

Your adventure begins as we leave Belfast Harbor and head out to the lobster grounds. Learn how Maine's lobster fishery works as we haul real working traps from the sea using the boat's hydraulic winch. Get hands-on with the catch, discover the fascinating marine life living beneath the surface, and hear stories of life on the water from your Captain.

After working the traps, we'll tie up at the famous Young's Lobster Pound, where your fresh lobster feast awaits. Enjoy one of Maine's most celebrated seafood experiences with plenty of time to relax, soak up the waterfront atmosphere, and enjoy dinner at your own pace.

As the evening light begins to soften, we'll head back out onto Penobscot Bay for one final chapter.

With the work complete, the bay becomes wonderfully peaceful. Sit back, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy a leisurely cruise as the sun slowly sets over the Maine coastline—a beautiful way to end an unforgettable afternoon on the water.

Every trip is a little different. The weather, wildlife and sunset all play their part, making each experience completely unique.
