The company offers guided and self-guided options including one-, two-, three-, and four-hour kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals in Kennebunkport, sunset boat tours in Casco Bay, whale watching excursions from Portland, and specialty trips such as a tour to Goat Island Light, a Boon Island Light sunset seal watch, and a visit to the Mere Point oyster farm.
