Lucinda D. left this review for us: “Giving peopl Lucinda D. left this review for us:

“Giving people the opportunity to go out on a lobster boat is a great idea. The boat is relatively small, so the cruise was relaxing, intimate (a maximum of 6 guests), and we really felt connected to the water. First Mate John was friendly, funny, and full of interesting tidbits about lobster fishing. After we "pulled some traps," Captain Jim took us further out so we could see the adorably curious (and prolific), gray seals that call Cape Ann home. A truly delightful trip. We highly recommend it.”

No creature is immortal, but lobsters are about as No creature is immortal, but lobsters are about as close as one can get. 🦞  They don't age the same way other creatures do. They can also detach their claws and legs when in danger, and the limb will slowly grow back over time, like it never even happened!

CREATURE OF THE WEEK: the sea raven! Did you know CREATURE OF THE WEEK: the sea raven! Did you know that sea ravens can fill their bellies with water when frightened, similar to a puffer fish? This makes it appear larger to scare away predators. This is why they are also called puff-bellies!
