Flannel, Lighthouses, Tasty Drinks and Private Charters: How Casco Bay Custom Charters Does Fall
Step aboard our historic wooden boats and experience for yourself why we offer Portland, Maine’s, best fall foliage boat tours, lighthouse cruises, and sightseeing excursions. With seasonal food and drink features, cozy accommodations, and our unsurpassed customer service, there’s no better way to see New England’s renowned foliage while taking in Portland’s best coastal sights. Here’s how we make fall the best time to get out on Casco Bay:
Perfectly suited wooden boats:
It’s easy to have a great day on the water when the weather is hot and sunny. That’s why so many private boat charter operators in Casco Bay have open boats that let you soak in the sunshine. Casco Bay Custom Charters is one of the only private charter companies in Portland to operate boats that feature covered cabins with retractable side curtains. This lets us provide a comfortable guest experience even as the temperature drops or the autumn winds blow.
Cozy accommodations:
Who doesn’t love a comfy blanket? Curl up on our cushioned benches with a special someone and nestle into a soft blanket and throw pillow for some extra warmth on those crisp fall days. Nothing says “MAINE” more than flannel and lighthouses while cruising aboard a Maine-built wooden boat!! Like things a little warmer? We are pleased to offer Hugga seat warmers. These are portable cushioned seat warmers powered by rechargeable batteries. Just let us know if you want us put them on board!
Seasonal food and drink features:
We can’t say enough about Portland’s awesome food and drink scene, and we are proud to partner with local breweries, distilleries, and cider houses to offer some of Maine’s best fall beers and ciders during our fall sightseeing charters, lighthouse and foliage tours, and dinner cruises. For 2024, we are proud to feature Oktoberfest from Banded Brewing. This is a classic German-style Marzenbier that’s perfect for fall with malty notes of toffee, biscuit, and caramel. And back by popular demand is Cornish Cider Co’s Common Fruit Cider. This limited edition cider is a traditional dry cider made with wild yeast and wild seedling apple varieties grown on family lands in Cornish, Maine. It won gold at the Great American Cider Festival in 2021.
We also are proud to offer warm drinks on our fall charters aboard our flagship vessel MONHEGAN. Treat yourself to fresh coffee or hot chocolate as you cruise Casco Bay and enjoy the slower pace of life in autumn in New England.
Always Private. Always Unsurpassed Service
Our goal is a fantastic guest experience. From the moment you book until the moment you are back at the dock after your charter, we pride ourselves on being customer-focused. All of our sightseeing tours, including lighthouse viewing, dining excursions, and fall foliage cruises are private charters featuring a licensed captain, friendly and knowledgeable deckhand, only your group. This is why we are Portland’s top-rated private boat charter company.
