Boat tours

 

This is how whale tour boats out of Bar Harbor look.

 

 

They’ll put 280 people on a boat.

 

We took our boat tours from a smaller town 75 miles north of Bar Harbor.  This is how our tour boat looked.

 

They take a maximum of 6 people.

 

 

They’re lobster boats.

 

 

Captain Jamie.

 

Captain Jim.

 

They take us in close to the sights.

 

 

They do puffin tours, whale watches, fishing, lobstering.  They stopped on the way in to pull up a lobster trap and show us how the traps work, how to measure the lobster, and explain lobstering licensing and etiquette.  In the winter Captain Jamie dives for sea urchins.

 

I’d pay extra to go on our boat instead of theirs.  The Bar Harbor tour cost more…
