During Memorial Day Weekend you will learn how the annual migration of alewives influences other creatures along the Damariscotta River.

May is a very busy month on the River and the crew plans on sharing all the activities. Seals give birth to their pups just as the springtime migration of alewives introduces an abundance of food to the tidal river. The River Tripper will have special Alewife Run Tours Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at 2pm. The trip is partially narrated about how the annual migration of alewives effects the habitat on the Damariscotta River and the amazing interdependency of alewives and its wildlife.

During the Alewife Festival on Memorial Day Weekend the profit of ticket sales will be donated to the Damariscotta Mills Fish Ladder Restoration Project.

Oyster Farms & Seal Watching Tour on The River Tripper

The Damariscotta River Cruises
47 Main St
Damariscotta
05/31/2017 | 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

The Oyster Farms & Seal Watching Tour takes in the Damariscotta River’s wildlife and its new role in oyster farming, that makes this tidal river world famous. We will sail by seven oyster farms that raise these very tasty bivalves. You’ll see harbor seals in action or basking on the ledges, and pass by Maine’s oldest wooden-boat builder in operation. Captain Chip will regale you with local history, natural lore, and tales of his own life on the river. You can purchase the famous shellfish from Olga’s Raw Bar onboard and pair them with a delightful summer drink.

All seals (and oyster farmers) are curious and photogenic, regardless of their age! The trips are partially narrated. Educational and fun for the whole family!
