Whale Watch and Scenic Cruises

Right here in Lower Village Kennebunk / Kennebunkport there are several great ways to connect with the outdoors and enjoy a day on the water. The famous Nick's Chance Whale Watch is docked less than five minutes walking distance from the front steps of the King's Port Inn. This whale watching adventure lasts 4 & 1/2 hours, and cruises 20 miles into the Atlantic Ocean to view whales, dolphins, and much more marine life of the Gulf of Maine.

The same company offers more than just whale watch tours. They also have a wonderful 1 & 1/2 hour Scenic Lobster tour. Kylie's Chance tour boat will take you on a voyage (departing from the same dock as Nick's Chance whale watch) down the Kennebunk River and along the Kennebunkport coastline. On this trip you will se seals, former President George H.W. Bush's home, and how Maine Lobster is harvested.

All cruises depart from Performance Marine, behind the Big Apple Mobil station on Western Avenue, Lower Village Kennebunk. For reservations and more information call: (207)967-5507 or 1-800-767-BOAT, or visit them on the web at http://www.firstchancewhalewatch.com

Both cruises will make your vacation unforgettable !
