Cruise John’s Bay from Boothbay Harbor to Pemaquid Point, with lighthouses, seals, coastal history, comfort, and practical tips.
“Would recommend going to Pemaquid Harbor directly and avoiding the long boring ride to Pemaquid Point. It would make the trip 3 hours instead of 3.5. We loved the ride to South Bristol into the cove with all the boats and the ride through the little islands and the light houses. Last summer we did the light house cruise which was great. This one was a half hour too long with no narrations from the captain as we went directly to Pemaquid Point itself.”
