Adventure Part 2 - Boat Tour
On your boat ride, you will see lighthouses, wildlife, and future navy destroyers under construction on the banks of the Kennebec, a storied place where they’ve been building ships since 1607.
The kennebec River
…come aboard Maine’s premiere coastal Boat Tours with River Run Tours (Mon - Thurs) or Maine Experience Guide Service (Friday, Sat or Sunday) on a charter cruise for a stunning, once in a lifetime private tour of Bath from the water. You will explore the “Kennebec” and “Long Reach” just as it was seen by the 19th century sailors coming into port. What else? Lighthouses, seals, bald eagles, osprey, the c. 1884 Bath Iron Works shipyard (still going strong) with several U.S. Navy destroyers, the Carlton lift bridge, and the reconstruction of the 1607 pinnace Virginia.
