Belfast Lobster Fishing Experiences — Midcoast Maine

About this activity

This isn’t a typical boat tour—it’s a hands-on Maine lobster fishing experience rooted in real working-waterfront traditions.

Choose from three ways to experience it:

Lobster Fishing Only — NO MEAL INCLUDED

Head onto Penobscot Bay and haul real lobster traps while learning the tools, techniques and traditions of Maine’s iconic fishery. See what comes up—lobsters, crabs and the occasional surprise.

Lobster Fishing + Feast

Enjoy the full hands-on fishing experience, then step ashore for a VIP stop at Young’s Lobster Pound and a classic Maine lobster feast. From trap to table, this is the real thing.

The Ultimate Maine Experience — Lobster Feast + Sunset Cruise

Haul real traps, feast at Young’s, then head back onto the bay and cruise into a spectacular Maine sunset. Lobsters, feast and sunset—all in one unforgettable experience.

Whichever you choose, expect small groups, real participation, local knowledge and a genuine taste of Maine’s working waterfront.

Meeting point

Everyone meets at the meeting point.

End point: Head to the City Harbor Dock and find the Nautilus restaurant. With Nautilus on your left, walk toward the water. Go down the ramp to the dock where you'll see our blue lobster boat with a buoy on top. Meet your captain there. If you're unsure, ask anyone for Out & About.
