Private Full Moon Cruise in Saco, Maine

Private Full Moon Powerboat Cruise in Casco Bay

Step aboard Avelinda for an enchanting Private Full Moon Powerboat Cruise through the serene waters of Casco Bay. As night falls and the moon rises over the Atlantic, you'll experience the coast in a whole new light—glowing reflections on the water, silhouetted islands, and a peaceful stillness that makes for an unforgettable evening.

Departing from Portland or South Portland, this private charter takes you past historic lighthouses, secluded islands, and quiet harbors, all bathed in moonlight. Landmarks like Portland Head Light, Bug Light, and Spring Point Ledge Light shine against the night sky, creating magical photo opportunities.

Along the way, keep watch for harbor seals basking under the stars, porpoises gliding through the waves, and seabirds swooping low over the bay. The gentle hum of the boat and the soft lapping of the water set the perfect backdrop for a night of relaxation, romance, or quiet contemplation.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, looking for a unique date night, or simply embracing the beauty of the Maine coast under a full moon, this cruise promises an extraordinary maritime experience.
