Our lighthouse, nature, and lobster fishing cruises wildlife sightings have been amazing! Seals, bald eagles, and scoters! The foliage is still incredible, too!

We only have a few more days left until the last day of the season! We hope to see you before it is over!

It was a looking a bit eerie and a little spooky this morning in Frenchman Bay. Thick fog rolling over the mountains and sea.

But it made for perfect October vibes for our lighthouse cruise, especially with the autumn leaves.🍁 🌊

Still a few weeks left of our season, with the foliage just starting to ramp up!

What. A. Great. Day!

We were back offshore, finally, after five days of being docked due to the recent nor’easter.

Three humpbacks including Solas, Sabertooth, and Scream in addition to pods of Common and Atlantic white-sides dolphins!

Absolutely gorgeous conditions too! Hard to believe there were seven foot seas out here a few days ago!
