One of the best things you can do on vacation is take a second to enjoy the slower pace of life. However, that doesn’t mean your options are limited to relaxing in your room at Smuggler’s Cove Inn. You can still get out and explore all Midcoast Maine has to offer. A fun yet relaxing adventure is setting sail on one of the incredible Boothbay Harbor cruises.
Whether chasing the sunset or looking to spot some of the animals that call this region home, a Boothbay Harbor boat tour is sure to be a good time. To help you decide which outings to add to your itinerary, we’ve made a list of some of our favorites.
