Gift certificate for Coastal Discovery Cruise for Two: Puffin/Nature or Lighthouse Cruise.  Use by 12/09.

Lighthouse Cruise

For more than two centuries, lighthouses have stood guard all along the rockbound Maine coast. At night and in stormy weather, their beacons safely light the way for mariners. Even in fair weather, they are always a reassuring sight as they add their beauty to the scenery. Come with us and let us show you an array of lighthouses, including Marshall Point, Whitehead, Two Bush Light, and Southern Island. The latter is now owned by Jamie Wyeth, whose studio is in the pyramid-shaped bell tower. You may recognize Marshall Point Light from the popular movie "Forest Gump." There are many fascinating stories about each of these stalwart beacons, and we look forward to sharing them with you.

Puffin/Nature Cruise

Have you ever seen a stout little puffin busily flapping its short wings as it zooms overhead? Have you watched a family of harbor seals frolic in the shallows? Have you seen a pair of porpoises speed through the water, or a minke whale rise from the surface in a slow arc?

Come with us on a nature cruise! Every time we steam out of Port Clyde's harbor, we know we'll encounter some intriguing wildlife amid the stunningly beautiful seascapes that surround us. We'll take you out to Eastern Egg Rock to see an Atlantic puffin nesting site and learn about Project Puffin, a model for restoring seabird populations all over the world. In addition to puffins, we're always on the lookout for other seabirds, including rare ones.

As we go along, we always provide expert commentary on all that we see, including the area's rich history and nature. This cruise always receives rave reviews from passengers of all ages.
