Set sail on Casco Bay with Boomerang Yacht Charters and experience Maine’s rugged coastline on a private yacht. From historic lighthouses to fresh oysters, each cruise offers a unique, intimate glimpse of South Portland’s maritime charm.
South Portland, Maine, sits on the edge of Casco Bay—a rugged coastal stretch peppered with islands, lighthouses, and historic forts that tell tales of centuries past. Boomerang Yacht Charters offers a distinct way to witness this maritime landscape from the water on private, intimate cruises tailored for small groups and families. Aboard the Brianna Marie, captained by Owen with crew members Brianna or Brandon, guests are treated to more than just a boat ride; they receive a guided journey through an array of coastal highlights rich with natural beauty and local lore.
Casco Bay’s unique geography features glacially sculpted islands and dense spruce forests lining dramatic shorelines. The company’s private charters range from two-hour harbor cruises to relaxed sunset sails, with their signature “Bubbles and Oyster” trips inviting guests to sip sparkling wine paired with fresh local oysters harvested from the bay itself. The itinerary often includes glimpses of historic lighthouses, remnants of Revolutionary-era forts, and sightings of native wildlife such as harbor seals and seabirds.
What sets Boomerang Yacht Charters apart is their personalized approach. Reviewers repeatedly praise the attentiveness of the crew, from stocking favorite snacks to sharing lively stories about the landscape and maritime heritage. The calm waters of Casco Bay combine with Maine’s unpredictable weather to create an ever-changing backdrop of rugged seascapes and golden sunlight that captains Owen and his team expertly navigate for maximum comfort and scenic impact.
Whether gathering for a family reunion or a small corporate outing, guests can expect a seamless blend of adventure, relaxation, and hospitality.
