Join the Crew of an authentic Lobster Boat!

Don slickers and join the crew of Captain Tom’s Lucky Catch, an authentic Lobster Boat. Bait and haul traps and measure lobster as you learn about lobster lore. Float past historic sites such as Portland headlight as you pick up a little area history along the way. Take your catch across the dock to the Lobster Company where chefs will cook it up with all the traditional sides to enjoy as you watch the fishing boats come and go in Portland Harbor.

Inn with Art

While Inn by the Sea walls and public spaces are hung with regional art that would be the envy of most museum curators, Portland’s Museum of Art has a comprehensive collection of renowned Maine painters. Winslow Homer painted masterpieces, such as his celebrated Canon Rock, nearby in his studio at Proust Neck. Many of Homer’s works are housed at Portland’s Museum of Art where you can also view Hopper’s beloved image of the historic Portland Headlight, located just minutes from the Inn. The Museum prides itself on Art for All and has a diverse collection that will be a wonderful experience for all ages.
