My wife and I embarked on this tour in early October, and were pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The views of the harbor were amazing. What we enjoyed the most was the hands-on experience with all the happenings of lobster fishing. Great tour, reasonably priced, and a must see.

We spent a week out in New England and visited many attractions in 4 states. This was by far our favorite! Captain Tom and Toni were both very informative and great at getting everyone involved in the action. We learned about different type of lobster traps and how they work, how to measure lobster, how to determine gender, and how... More

It was a chilly September day and it was lightly raining. We had made the reservation and having second thoughts, but why not go. Glad we did. These guys are great and naturals at this. Even though I'd been out on a couple of lobster boats, I learned a lot and caught some great scenery. Our daughter loved it and... More

This is a very interesting trip. Learned a lot about lobsters. We liked the interaction & hands on catching the lobsters. The captain & crew were very nice & helpful. Also got to see more lighthouses & the harbor. Recommend this trip. It was a highlight of our vacation in beautiful & friendly Maine.

Our group was only about 15 people, so everyone could easily hear, and they involved everyone in pulling in the traps, filling the bait bags, banding the lobster pinchers, and tossing the traps overboard again! We even wore the... More

My sister and I were on a NCL Canada & New England Cruise. We had heard about Lucky Catch Cruises from Trip Advisor and I'm so glad we did. It was the best thing we could do in Portland, Maine for the price and for the scenery. That doesn't even include the lobstering. Great Fun, Great Knowledge, and A Great... More

We were not expecting to learn so much about lobstering...and have a great time learning about it. Dave and the other guy (Brian?) were so much fun - great humor and worked well with the kids on the boat. One of the highlights was that we bought the live 1.5lb lobster we caught for $5 then took it next door... More

If you are up for a little adventure - this was so much fun. The crew takes you around the Portland Bay and has everyone on the boat participate in catching lobsters. I feel like we learned everything there is to know on the subject. We were even able to see a pregnant lobster and a hermit crab. My 11... More

My husband and I did the Lighthouse Route through Lucky Catch and it was a great time! We got to see 5 lighthouses from the boat and participate in all aspects of catching lobsters! The crew was beyond nice and informative. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Maine/Portland. We talked about it to everyone we met-it was one of... More
