For adults traveling alone or with children, Kennebunkport offers scenic lobstering cruises. In the words of the folks at Kylie's Chance, "relax as we take you down the Kennebunk River, and out onto the Atlantic Ocean along the coastline of the Kennebunks. The captain gives you a brief history lesson and highlights points of interest."

Another option for fun on the sea is a whale watching trip. As explained by the operators of Nick's Chance, "We typically travel approximately 20 miles off shore to Jeffery's Ledge, a feeding ground for minke, finback, white sided dolphins, humpbacks, and the very rare and highly endangered right whale. Yes, we really do see whales!

One of the more romantic options is a sail upon a classic Maine built sailing vessel. The Schooner Eleanor will take you along the scenic coastline from Cape Arundel to Cape Porpoise. you will see lobstermen at work and seabirds glide by. The Captain will share some of the fascinating local history. Yoy can choose to help work the sails or just sit back, relax and enjoy the fresh salt air. The peace and quiet of cruising under sail will put a smile on your face.
