We went out on the first whale watching trip of Odyssey's 2012 season (they were the only place I could find who started early in May when we would be in Portland). The entire trip was well run...boat was clean and comfortable (if pretty cold for Floridians), the staff were friendly and accessible, and they had a nice set of... More

My brother and I took our kids on the Odyssey 2 1/2 hour fishing trip out of Portland, Maine last summer and we all had a ball catching tons of mackerel. This is a great short fishing trip for kids and adults that maybe haven't ever gone ocean fishing before or had much luck at it because you catch a... More

We went on a whale watching trip over Labor Day, and I have to say, the quality of service of this company is beyond amazing. Our trip was ill-fated due to weather and we had to turn back due to safety and the health of the passengers. Before we even made it back, we were assured a total refund and... More

We decided to make a day trip to Portland, ME to try a whale watching experience with the Odyssey. It was worth every penny! The skipper, Captain Josh, was an expert in sea-life, whale behavior and history of the area. On the way out to the ocean, there were many beautiful lighthouses, historic forts and incredible scenery. The boat was... More

We took this trip in June of 2011. Captain did a great job of pointing out the lighthouses along the way (if you want a real tour take the light house tour, next store.) The ride up we saw some minke whales, harbor porpoise and a few birds of the sea on our way to where the bigger whales resided.... More

I went on September the 23rd but originally I had planned to go on Monday the 20th... my Auntie and Uncle drove the hour and a half to Portland... Then we got a phone call as we arrived to say it was cancelled. I was gutted and went down to speak to them in person and made arrangements to go... More

While visiting our daughter in Portland, my wife, daughter, and myself made reservations for a whale watch. We were really sure we would see any whales but were really excited to see our first one. Throughout the 4 hour trip, we saw many more which made the trip worthwhile. The crew did everything possible to insure that we were right... More

I enjoyed my whale watching trip with this company. What made it a good experience was my interaction with the crew. They were very knowledgeable about the Gulf of Maine and the fishing industry in general. I learned a great deal and enjoyed seeing all of the marine life. We saw whales, tuna, dolphins and seals, along with marine birds.... More

It cost nearly $190 for our family of four to spend a mid-July day out on the ledges looking for whales and porpoises which failed to appear. At least we got to see a number of pelagic birds and the occasional dabblings of tuna feeding at the surface, but on the whole it was a tremendous waste of time and... More
