Casco Bay Hovercraft Tour
Portland, Maine Coast
About This Activity
Portland's hovercraft tours glide over the surface of Casco Bay in a small group (typically 4-6 passengers), visiting island shores and lighthouse viewpoints that conventional boats can't approach as closely. The unusual vessel draws attention wherever it goes and offers an alternative angle on Casco Bay's scenery. Check current operator availability as the business has changed hands.
Seasonal note: Seasonal; verify current availability before booking
