• 25 Front St - What to Expect

Climb aboard The Out & About for a hands-on lobster boat experience in Belfast, Maine, and head out onto Penobscot Bay to explore one of Maine’s most iconic traditions—lobster fishing.

This is more than a boat tour. It’s a small-group, working waterfront experience, where you’ll step into the real rhythm of the Maine coast—salt air, open water, and the quiet focus of life on the bay.

You’ll learn the tools and techniques behind Maine lobster fishing as we cruise out to the trap lines. Watch—and take part—as traps are hauled from the water using the winch system, then gather round to see what’s inside. Expect lobsters, crabs, and the occasional surprise catch.

Along the way, hear stories from the boat—local knowledge, superstitions, and how the fishery is managed to keep it thriving for generations. It’s a deeper, more authentic connection to what’s really happening on the water.

Then, we head ashore for a VIP stop at Young’s Lobster Pound, where you’ll enjoy a proper Maine lobster feast—fresh, simple, and exactly how it should be.

Every trip is a little different. Fog, sun, or breeze—the bay sets the tone, and that’s all part of the experience.

As each trap is retrieved, you’ll gather around to discover its contents—lobsters, crabs, and the occasional surprise—while learning about the careful management of this iconic fishery to ensure its sustainability for future generations.
