Public 2-Hour Sunset Powerboat Cruise

Explore Casco Bay off of Portland’s Waterfront

Experience the magic of a Portland and Casco Bay sunset on a Public Sunset Powerboat Cruise with Broad Reach Adventures. As the sun dips below the ocean's endless expanse of horizon, the waters of Portland Harbor and Casco Bay transform into a breathtaking display of golden hues and vibrant colors, offering an unforgettable way to end your day on the Maine coast. Each sunset is unique, different and so so beautiful!

Aboard Avelinda, a beautifully maintained classic Maine-built powerboat, you’ll embark on a relaxing two-hour cruise through some of the most scenic waters in New England. Enjoy stunning views of Portland’s iconic lighthouses, including Portland Head Light, Spring Point Ledge Light, and Bug Light, as they stand sentinel against the fading light. Glide past picturesque islands like Peaks Island, Great Diamond Island, and Cushing Island, each with its own unique charm.

As you cruise through the tranquil bay, keep an eye out for harbor seals, porpoises, and seabirds settling in for the night. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic evening, or simply looking for a peaceful way to soak in the beauty of Maine’s crown jewel, it's coastline, this private sunset cruise offers a front-row seat to nature’s grand finale.
