What to Expect: This is one of our favorite trips to take with family and friends. The cruise from Portland Harbor to Little Chebeague Island will take about 45 minutes. Once we arrive, we will anchor the boat at the beach. Then we can assist you in unloading onto the island. You will have three hours to explore the island. This little gem is 100 acres of uninhabited land. It is well maintained with easy walking trails from the beach to the sandbar. Along the trails are historic military sites and a prior cottage colony. There are also campsites available with picnic tables and firepits. Another nice feature is the bathroom which is near the beach. This a great spot for a picnic lunch, sea glass hunting, and swimming. Don’t forget the camera as this is a great spot for some family photos and the views of the coastline are beautiful! Feel free to request a custom trip with a stop by Long Island Bakehouse for a snack or ice cream on the way back to the marina.

What to Bring: We always recommend layering clothing as the weather can change quickly in New England. A blanket can also be helpful for those that get cold easily. Feel free to bring snacks or some takeout as well as your preferred beverages. Check out our blog for boat snack ideas. Please avoid bringing glass on the boat. We will have a gallon of chilled water available for your convenience. We would love to provide restaurant recommendations for takeout if you have any questions. There are multiple great restaurants close to the marina or near the Portland Public Water Taxi Dock.

Pick up can be at the Portland Public Water Taxi Dock at 72 Commercial Street. We can also meet at South Port Marine at 14 Ocean St South Portland. There is free street parking in the vicinity but this can be crowded in the peak of the season.
