The Extraordinary Wildlife of Merrymeeting Bay Cruise

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Six rivers converge at Merrymeeting Bay to create a truly unique and rare ecosystem:  the breeding ground of osprey and bald eagles and home to Atlantic sturgeon and harbor seals.  Narration is provided by members of local environmental organizations who share their knowledge of the wildlife, ecological vitality and the challenges now facing this unique place.  Be sure to bring a camera!  This program is make possible thanks to the sponsorship of the Merrymeeting Bay Trust and the collaborative efforts of the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust and the Maine Audubon Society.

 This cruise is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes long. 

The Sagadahoc's professionally trained crew provides fascinating narration and a safe, comfortable cruise.  Food and beverages are available for purchase onboard.  Guests are welcome to bring aboard a picnic, but coolers are not allowed . Due to Maine liquor laws, guests may not bring alcohol onboard, but beer and wine are available for purchase.

Tickets are non-refundable, except in the event of a weather cancellation.  The Sagadahoc is a covered boat and usually runs in light rain and other moderate weather conditions.  Cruises may be cancelled in the event of severe or unsafe weather conditions or unmet minimum ticket sales, and cancellations are made by the Captain on the day of the cruise.  If the Museum cancels a cruise, you will have the opportunity to reschedule, or receive a refund. 

The temperature on the water can vary throughout the day.  Please come prepared with extra layers. Access to the boat requires negotiating a ramp down to the float, and then boarding steps into the boat.  We are not able to accommodate wheelchairs. 

The experience of Maine from the water is like no other and the Kennebec River delights one and all! Your ticket price includes Museum admission for two consecutive days-come early or return the next day to visit our Museum shipyard and galleries.
