Set out on your privately chartered lobster boat and sample a day in the life of a Maine lobsterman! Watch the captain haul in lobster traps and listen to interesting explanations about lobster fishing, seals, and other marine life in Maine.

Your captain will fill you in on local history and folklore, telling you stories about the area--you decide if it's fact or fiction! Hear about the Flying Dutchman of Maine, the curse of the Saco River, the night during World War II when a German U-Boat landed two spies on Hancock Point, and many others!
