"Nearly every restaurant around Mount Desert Island has lobster on the menu—Maine is the center of the American Lobster Universe, after all—but this food cruise is an unmissable summer experience that lets you get in on the action. You’ll tour Frenchman Bay on board a vintage lobster boat before getting to haul traps yourself. The lobsters you catch are steamed right on the boat with a pot full of seawater and plump ears of corn, and the tour finishes with a simple feast on paper plates while moored in a calm inlet. The lobster itself tastes incredible (the secret, the captain says, is the seawater steam), and you’ll learn a ton about crustaceans and how Mainers fish for them in just a few short hours. And just when the day couldn’t be any better, you get a dense, hefty slice of blueberry pie for dessert. " - anne cruz

We had an amazing cruise with Jason learning about the area, lobster fishing, and the local wildlife. It was a lot of fun while learning a lot. Jason was a great guide and we had some great conversations, laughing and learning while touring around the coast of Acadia. Capped off the trip with an awesome lobster dinner. Captain Jason and dog Sadie were awesome company! Booking was easy and great conversations in planning. Good advice on brining plenty of wine! We had a blast as couples vacationing together for the evening. Best excursion or activity on our awesome trip!

I recommend this to anyone able to make it work! I had an excellent experience on this boat. It is a very personable trip where you go check some lobster traps, sight see some areas, learn some history, learn about lobsters, eat fresh lobster, and top it off with fresh blueberry pie! Jason is very knowledgeable and helpful. There is a small bathroom on board for anyone concerned about that. The lobster and blueberry pie on this boat were better than anywhere else I tried during my stay in Maine!

My wife, daughter, and I had a great time on Jason’s lobster boat! This was one of the best parts of our trip to MDI. Jason is a down-to-earth, personable guide who taught us all about the lobster industry today. Eating delicious, fresh lobster on his boat was an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended.

We had a great time on the lobster cruise with Captain Jason and First Mate Sadie (the sweetest dog). The tour gives you a great view of the beautiful islands and coves around the southern areas of MDI. Jason has years of experience in the lobster fishing community and he really makes the experience so interactive. The tour is capped off with a lobster dinner right on the boat with beautiful views of the rocky coastline. We highly recommend booking a tour if you are visiting MDI or Bar Harbor.

We got to go out with Jason yesterday on his first cruise of the season. We had an absolute blast. Jason is both personable and a great teacher. We learned alot about lobstering and then we had the best meal on the boat moored up the sound. I Highly recommend it. This was the highlight of our whole week exploring Maine.

I recently had the most unforgettable experience aboard the Acadia Lobster Cruise in Maine, and I cannot praise it enough! From start to finish, this cruise exceeded all my expectations and provided me with memories that will last a lifetime. First and foremost, Jason was exceptional. He was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local marine life and the fascinating lobster fishing industry but also friendly and approachable. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had and shared captivating stories about the area's history and lobstering traditions. The cruise itself was a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. The boat was comfortable and well-maintained, providing ample seating and unobstructed views of the stunning Maine coastline. As we set sail, the breathtaking scenery unfolded before our eyes, and the salty sea breeze filled the air, adding to the overall ambiance of the journey. One of the highlights, of course, was the lobster-catching demonstration. It was such a unique experience to witness the work up close and personal, and my dad even got to haul in traps while Jason explained the intricacies of the trade. Being able to hold and touch live lobsters was a thrilling hands-on experience I'll cherish forever. But the pinnacle of the cruise was the lobster feast itself. The fresh and succulent lobsters, cooked to perfection on board, were a true delicacy. The entire meal was delectable, accompanied by great personality and views that stretched on for miles. Even those in our group who were less knowledgeable about eating lobster fell in love with the flavors and left the table satisfied, with my brother in-law going so far as to try the lobster brains. Throughout the journey, Jason’s expertise and passion for the region were evident. His commentary added depth and meaning to the sights we encountered, and he ensured the safety and comfort of everyone on board. The Acadia Lobster Cruise offered an authentic and immersive experience of Maine's coastal charm. It's a journey that caters to people of all ages, whether you're a seafood enthusiast or simply seeking a unique adventure amidst the beauty of nature. I wholeheartedly recommend the Acadia Lobster Cruise to anyone visiting Maine. It's a delightful blend of education, relaxation, and deliciousness, and it promises an experience you'll treasure forever. I'm already looking forward to my next visit, and I'll undoubtedly be joining another one of their fantastic cruises. Thank you, Acadia Lobster Cruise, for an unforgettable day on the water and for making my father’s birthday one we will never forget.

Awesome experience and a great value considering you get fresh lobster for lunch! Lovely tour of the area while fishing for our lobster and Jason was fun and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend! We even received the “perfect weather upgrade” for no additional charge!
