What a great tour! The guide had some awesome history to share. The bar and snacks on board were an awesome bonus. We got to see a bald eagle nest that the crew had found earlier. We sat downstairs and it was decently comfortable. It didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect. Highly recommend!

Longer than expected tour of harbor and islands. Lots of history and present day tidbits about Portland. My only negative was no seating on upper deck so had to stand below to see sights.
