Casco Bay Cruise and Lobster Bake Event: As a seperate ticketed event we will hold a half hour Casco Bay cruise aboard the “Bay Mist” to Peaks Island. There guests will enjoy a genuine Downeast Lobster Bake where they will have a choice of lobster, steak, or chicken. Afterward you can relax and enjoy the sunset over Portland Harbor. Buses depart from the Holiday Inn by the Bay at 5:00 p.m. and 5:25 p.m., returning at approximately 9:30 p.m. You will surely want to purchase your tickets ahead of time for this event, as they are bound to go quickly. The cost is $55.00 which includes transportation. Tickets may be purchased until 10:00 a.m. on Monday, 9 August.
