The captain's a former lobsterman....knows more about lobster body parts than anyone I know...and freely shares the info :) It's a great attraction with his tour lasting about 90 minutes. Good for adults and kids and boat trip includes visit to see seals hanging out on their rock village. Captain is funny and entertaining...great guide as well and a real... More

We were 2 adults and took this tour just before the summer season. It had been an overcast day that finally opened up into a sunny one. There was some question between the weather and how many people wanted to tour as to whether we would go or not. I'm so glad we did. The ride was beautiful, the seals... More

It was quite expensive to go looking for seals. YES, You will spend more than half of this trip looking at seals laying around doing nothing. Then you get some background information on Lobstering. And when you decide to ask a question that the capt feels uncomfortable to answer, he will tell you that there are lots of text out... More

I believe that this reviewer either has confused my tour with another or never even took my tour. Based on the specific comments in the review, there are several reasons I believe that this review is misguided at best or intentionally meant to try to do harm to my business's (hard earned) reputation at worst. 1. "It is quite expensive... More

Coming on board the Lulu and the subsequent tour was most enjoyable, informative, and educational. Capt. John is very knowledgeable, articulate and passionate about the every aspect of the lobster industry. Capt. John could easily be a college professor. He made the tour very engaging for all, whether it was the two young ladies that were in elementary school, to... More

They went out of their way to serve their passengers and ensured that everyone was comfortable and given the opportunity to observe and participate. The explanations and demonstrations relating to the local lobster industry were very... More

Went today with John on the Lobster tour. Had a great time, learned a lot & saw a lot. John is a great host - very engaging and very informative. He took time to ensure every one of his guests had an opportunity to view each of the exhibits & demonstrations. I'd highly recommend this trip. Good value, the boat... More

My wife and I journeyed on the Lulu Lobster Boat in early October, 2011. We were attracted to this tour by the Trip Advisor rating. We were not disappointed! Captain John and his able crew gave us a fantastic lesson on lobsters-how they are caught, their anatomy, and,most importantly, what Maine is doing to ensure these tasty creatures continue to...

The weather was not great but the tour was excellent. Captain John loves his lobsters and we learned more about lobsters in two hours than we had in a lifetime. The scenery was great despite the weather. There were several little kids on our tour and Captain John did an exemplary job of working with them too. Great fun for... More

Lulu Lobster Boat was a nice two-hour trip to watch the seals, watch a lobster pot get hauled in, and a lot of information about lobstering, and lobsters. The captains insight on sustainablility of the lobster trade in Maine, and his passion for the industry makes this a trip I would recommend to anyone that spends any time in Maine.... More
