OYSTER FARM TOUR
Testimonials
Regan Catalan
Our oyster experience with Captain Joe was amazing! . . . We learned about the growing process of oysters & how to shuck them properly. He made his own mignonettes & his own cocktails for us. He really encouraged us to ask questions and he answered all of our questions thoroughly. The thing I really liked about it all, is that he didn't make us feel rushed. He was booked up throughout the day due to reschedules because of the weekend's bad weather, but he did not make us feel like we needed to hurry because of it. He made us feel like his priority, & channeled all of his energy towards our tour & our experience. Whenever we're back in Maine, we are definitely going to visit Captain Joe again. & for all of our friends/family who visit Maine, Captain Joe's guided tour is going to be the first thing we recommend!

My wife and I had a great experience with Capt Joe on both the Oyster Farm Tour and the sunset cruise. The oysters he farms are literally the best we have had anywhere in or out of the states. In a beautiful Maine setting. Joe and his family are very welcoming. When visiting Maine do not leave without having this experience. We will make this a yearly stop when in town.

Captain Joe always goes above and beyond! He holds himself to a high caliber, and thus his business. He has a way with people, fish, and oysters alike! Joe has a love and respect for nature and the ocean that will leave you well educated and safe on any adventure you take with him. Not only does he know boating as a Captain, but he has spent extensive time learning about the Maine ecosystems to also teach anyone who is interested. My kids absolutely love his fun nature, but he can also make a great cocktail for the adults too!

This was by far one of the best experiences I, along with my friends and girlfriend have ever had! We went on an oyster farm trip with Captain Joe and it was such a fun time. He took us to a quiet nature preserve and taught us about oyster farming, then we got to eat plenty of fresh oysters right out of the water! With Joe’s secret recipe mignonette and some champagne, wow what an experience! Can’t recommend enough, thanks for having us!
