Explore Casco Bay With Calendar Islands Tours

The “Pamela B”

Explore Casco Bay with Calendar Islands Tours.  (Casco Bay is often referred to as the Calendar Islands as you could visit a different island every day of the year).  New this year, this is a great way to experience Casco Bay.  Bring your friends and family and enjoy everything from relaxing Evening Cruises along the bay to Eco Cruises that have a more educational spin.

Captain Peter Milholland, principal owner and operator of Calendar Islands Tours, is an experienced, professional mariner and marine educator with over twenty-five years of expertise in developing and maintaining marine educational programs. Peter wants to pass his knowledge of Casco Bay on to others and he states, “Calendar Islands Tours is a way for locals and visitors to directly experience the spectacular beauty and wonders of Casco Bay.”

There are currently five tours to choose from.  At least one of these great cruises is sure to pique your curiosity:
