When should I book?

Summer and fall weekends fill up quickly — we recommend booking as far in advance as possible to secure your preferred date. Spring and weekday dates tend to have more availability.

The charter departs from Downtown Portland's Old Port — walkable from downtown hotels, restaurants, and bars.

Yes — catering from Portland's acclaimed Chaval and The Ugly Duckling is available on every charter. Select your menu during the booking process or up to 72 hours before departure. You're also welcome to bring your own food and non-alcoholic beverages.

The catering comes from Ilma Lopez and Damian Sansonetti — the James Beard Award-nominated chefs behind Chaval and The Ugly Duckling, two of Portland's most celebrated restaurants. Their menus feature Chaval-inspired tapas, a knuckle and claw lobster roll, artisan pastries, charcuterie, and premium caviar service.

What should we wear on the boat cruise?

Dress for the weather on the water — it's typically 5–10°F cooler out on Casco Bay than on shore. A light layer or jacket is recommended even in summer. Flat shoes or sneakers are safest on deck; heels aren't recommended on a moving boat.

Is there a bathroom on the boat?

Yes — the Marie L has a composting head on board. Think airplane lavatory — compact but functional for a 2–3 hour cruise.
