My wife & I had a great time. On previous visits to Maine I'd always wonder about lobstering when watching the small boats plying the waters. Capt Steve was a lot of fun; a real character, but very informative and graciously answered all our questions.

A once in a lifetime experience. Took us out to pick up lobster traps before hurricane Sandy arrived. Lobster info interesting, got to hold the lobster, and Steve got herring to feed the seals. One of the highlights of our 5 day Maine trip :)

My wife surprised me with this tour for my birthday. We were visiting Maine for 4 days for my Lobstah Shack Crawl...absolutely the highlight of my trip. Steve was very warm and had an incredible sense of humor...we laughed the whole time we were on the boat. He even gave us the lobster we caught to eat that night for... More

Went out with my wife and in-laws. Great time. Captain Jack knows the trade, knows the harbor and adds lots of spice to the experience. We loved the experience and will be back!

He waited for us as we could not find parking. He greeted us with a big welcoming smile and we had such a blast. What a special treat to spend time in Maine like this. He makes the kids feel special and part of the catch. He gives you a feeling like you live there with him and you are... More

We made reservations for a family of four for a Friday morning, and when we showed up, the owner, Captain Steve Hale, would not honor them. He went so far as to say that he didn't even remember taking the call, which happened three days before. We had two gift certificates for the adults, so he probably found 'paying' customers... More

Very informative tour, learned a lot about the life of a lobsterman. Captain Steve (the boat's called the Captain Jack) took us out across the harbour, pulled in about 10 traps. We had to ask him to slow down the process of removing the catch, releasing the undersized ones and rebaiting so that everyone could see. He spent some time... More

Tried to get a reservation but left 2 voice mails and one email with no response. Went to dock to see if we could just show up since Captain Jack doesn't return calls but he told us we would have to wait until Friday (3 days later). Forget it! Drove to Camden and got right on a beautiful, large sailboat... More
