You can become a deckhand and hoist sails, or just do what I did--chillax! The 33' Grace is very comfortable, with ample room for a maximum of six passengers. We had fabulous weather, and Captain Dave delivered big time on the promised seal sightings (and one dolphin). I only sailed twice previously at home in NJ; this was far more enjoyable! If I return to Freeport I'll take a six-hour cruise!

First, for the amount we got at the price we got, you cannot afford to NOT do this trip because it is the best bang for your dollar on the planet. Now, to the more important stuff. Our guide, Hauns, was hands down the nest guide I've ever had on any trip, and I've taken plenty. He was engaged yet not overbearing, instructful but not over the top know it all, he made our vacation feel like a vacation, and by the end of the trip he was border line family. @mainekayak is hands down the best trip you can take managed by the best people around. You will never forget tour adventure with Hauns and I cannot encourage people enough to get out of their comfort zone (or even for the experienced) and pick up a paddle and get on the water with Hauns and Maine Kayak. You won't regret it!!!!​

The past two times we've been here, we've done their guided wildlife kayak tour which includes a stop on Ram Island with snacks. This summer, given the COVID issues, they are unable to offer any guided tours but you can go down to their dock and rent stand up paddle boards or kayaks (single or double) and they will provide you with waterproof maps of the harbor so you can paddle to various locations and explore on your own. They also provided us with waterproof sacks and life vests. It was all first come first serve (I couldn't reserve the kayaks ahead of time) but they have so many it's not an issue. They said they do have more demand for paddle boards from time to time. We rented three double kayaks and wore our masks, as did the staff, until we shoved off the dock. We did the recommended kayak path to Burnt Island and walked around the island a bit before we headed back around the bay. In truth, two of our party decided to just float in the bay in their kayak and didn't paddle anywhere. All in all it was a wonderful and different way to experience the bay by kayak than the guided tours and at the end, they gave each of our teenagers/young adults a Tidal Transit Kayak sticker for their water bottles/laptops. I tried to pay for them but they gave them to us for free - and we will gladly advertise their company for them! Next time you're in Boothbay Harbor and looking for a fun, COVID-safe, outdoor activity for the whole family, make sure to visit Tidal Kayak Transit Company.
