    Rocky Bottom's lobster tours have hit on something special. The crew—names like Steve, Jason, John, and Grace come up frequently—are working lobstermen who genuinely love sharing their craft. They'll pull up traps, teach you to measure and sex lobsters, explain the conservation practices that keep the industry thriving, and answer every question like they have all day. Guests consistently mention how relaxed and down-to-earth the atmosphere feels, with comfortable seating, blankets, and even sunset tours available for a more intimate experience. The hands-on element is a big draw. You can choose your level of involvement, from simply observing to handling lobsters and crabs yourself, helping bait traps, and posing for photos. Families with kids and teens seem to have particularly great experiences, and the scenic coastal views of Casco Bay add another layer to the trip. These are last-minute bookable tours that visitors routinely call the highlight of their Portland visit. The flexibility is notable too—they've rescheduled for weather to ensure guests get the best experience possible.

    Booked a private sunset tour. Loved how relaxed the atmosphere was, and enjoyed learning from local lobstermen about the job. Great tour from the captain, who maneuvered the boat such that the sunset shone through the top of Ram Island lighthouse. The boat had a deep wooden bench seat with pillows and blankets. Very comfy. Book Rocky Bottom for a chill, personal, down to earth experience of Casco Bay.
