For the Sunrise Tour we will head out to Portland Head Light to watch the sun rise over the open Atlantic Ocean. As daylight slowly permeates the day, we will cruise through this island as lobstermen steam out for their days work. There is truly nothing quite like watching the daylight seep into the morning sky while nature wakes up around you. For the Sunset Tour, we will weave our way through the islands, getting to watch the days energy and light fade slowly out from the day. Passing all four lighthouses in the approach to Portland's harbor, we will get a unique and close up perspective of all the best features Casco Bay has to offer. As the sun drops below the horizon and your camera rolls are spent, we will make our way back to Fore Points Marina to disembark.
