Great Experience!

We had such a great time and learned a so much on our cruise. They let you band the lobsters and explain the light houses on the way to the cages. Can't beat the price.

Great day in the bay

We can't say enough about the great job Captain Tom and crew did during our early afternoon lobster "cruise". They did a great job getting all of the passengers involved and participating in all of the onboard activities.

People have been posting different prices that they paid to have their lobster cooked at the restaurant across the street. Is is one price for any size lobster you catch or is it based on weight/size?

We paid the Portland Lobster Co. a flat rate to cook the lobster ...$12 per lobster but it included corn, coleslaw, roll. Just delicious! Do it!

When you catch your lobster and take it next door to the restaurant to cook it, are you getting the whole lobster or can you get just the tail? My husband already said he only wants to eat the tail

You get the whole thing. You can choose to only eat whatever part you want to.
