THE boat ride for you!
This is THE boat trip for Southern Maine! Bob is a wonderful captain - takes care of all boaters whether calm or nervous. Abby was a wonderful cocaptain with some great stories. This was our second year and we are going to take the longer lighthouse boat trip next year! This is a must for anyone visiting southern Maine!

Afternoon sail
Beautiful afternoon sail! Captain Bob and Chloe took such great care of us. We brought our own snacks and they served it beautifully. They do offer food or drinks for purchase. They educated us about the lighthouse and the lobster traps. We had a 5 year old boy and they made sure he was safe and entertained. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you

Maine Coastal excursion
Great experience. Little foggy, but Captain Bob couldn’t control the weather. Captain Bob and Gabby were very personable and knowledgeable of the surroundings and good storytellers. We enjoyed every bit of the excursion.

Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kennebunkport.
How much does Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kennebunkport usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kennebunkport is not rushed.
Is Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Kennebunkport, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kennebunkport can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kennebunkport and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sail Away: Explore Maine's Coastal Beauty on a 2-Hour Excursion start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kennebunkport within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kennebunkport?
+
Kennebunkport, ME packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Kennebunkport by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Kennebunkport experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A Walk Through Time in Kennebunkport - Celebrating 200+ Years!, Kennebunkport Historic Walking Tour, 90 Minutes Ghost Walking Tour in Kennebunkport. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kennebunkport?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Kennebunkport, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kennebunkport?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
