Bird Watching Tour on The River Tripper narrated by Sarah Gladu, a Damariscotta River Association (DRA) naturalist and expert birder.

This cruise is timed for when osprey fledglings and bald eagles are making their first attempts to launch themselves on brief flights from the nests. Other birds often seen include: herons, kingfishers, cormorants, loons, shore birds, eiders and several other species of ducks.

If you’d like to learn more about the DRA’s outstanding work, please visit damariscottariver.org for more information.

Join us for a 2-hour cruise tasting delicious Oxbow craft beers right from our Newcastle backyard and pair them expertly with the world-famous Damariscotta River oysters. Mike Fava from Oxbow brewery will be on board to teach how to taste beer and what is best to pair with these sumptuous oysters. You will learn about all seven oyster farms on the River and their farming methods as we sail by them. The crew will even set up a mini oyster shucking class for the ones interested, and a Maine experience: ‘the way life should be’.
