the whales, sea birds and marine wild life that the Boothbay Region has to offer.
Our ships are the newest in the region, and carry the
latest whale tracking equipment available. If you are coming
to the State of Maine, and want to see whales, Cap'n Fish
is the way to go.
Our fleet has many other cruises that
feature close to shore scenic cruising of the coast of
Maine on the most comfortable ships afloat.
All of our narrators are experts on any of the whales, marine
life, or birds that you may spot on your whale watch.

Boothbay Harbor was one of the leading
ports for whale sightings during the 2005 season with 98%
sightings. If we do not spot whales we offer
a rain check good for another whale watch or any of Cap'n
Fish's other cruises.
Cap'n Bob Fish is a native of Boothbay
Harbor and has been exploring the coves and harbors of
the Region since before he could maneuver an oar. At the
ripe old age of 18, he was the youngest licensed captain
on the East Coast, and ever since then he has been calling
attention to the many species of whales along the Maine
Coast.
Cap'n Bob comes by his interest in whale watching honestly,
as his father, Captain Ray Fish, ran the old Squirrel Express
and Maranbo I and II to Squirrel Island and excursions
up the Sasanoa to Bath as far back as 1926. |

| During the Korean War, Bob fought the battle
of the French Quarter where he served as master of the
USA Freight Ship 219. Upon discharge, he entered the University
of Miami and graduated in 1958, returning every summer
to run the Maranbo II. (Once a Mainer, always a Mainer.)
Since that time he has increased his fleet
with the addition of the Pink Lady, Pink Lady II, Island
Lady, along with Cap'n Fish's Motel and Marina.
Captain John Fish, also a University of Miami graduate,
is carrying on the family tradition in Maine.
