The namesake of our CRUISE BOAT, MERRYMEETING BAY IS A UNIQUE
CONFLUENCE OF SIX MAINE RIVERS; the Kennebec, Androscoggin, Cathance,
Eastern, Abagadasset and the Muddy River all converging to form a
truly rare ecosystem.Pass through the swirling eddies of Chops Point
into the virtually untouched serenity of the bay.
This is one of the best places in the state to view bald eagles and
migrating waterfowl. Narrators from local environmental
organizations will share information about the unique flora and
abundant wildlife of the bay. Be sure to bring a camera!
The _Merrymeeting's_ professionally trained crew provides
fascinating narration and a safe, comfortable cruise. A snack bar
with beer, wine, soft drinks and light snacks is onboard. Guests are
welcome to bring aboard food and non-alcoholic beverages.
TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT OF A WEATHER
CANCELLATION. The _Merrymeeting_ is a 56' motor vessel with a
covered lower deck and open seating on the upper deck. Cruises run in
light rain and other moderate weather conditions.
Cruises may be cancelled in the event of severe or unsafe weather
conditions or unmet minimum ticket sales, and cancellations are made
by the Captain on the day of the cruise. If the Museum cancels a
cruise, you will have the opportunity to reschedule, or receive a
refund.
The temperature on the water can vary throughout the day. Please
come prepared with extra layers. Access to the boat
requires negotiating a ramp down to the float.
