A succulent feast of Maine lobsters and clams with all the traditional fixing’s await you! Cabbage Island has been the home of traditional clambakes since 1956, and your hosts, the Moore family cordially welcome you to experience this “Downeast” tradition! Our clambake adventure begins with a scenic tour of Boothbay Harbor aboard the Bennie Alice, in route to Cabbage Island in the Linekin Bay. The original Downeast Clambake of Boothbay Harbor is cooked in seaweed, steamed from top to bottom, covered with tarpaulins and rocks in order to capture all the flavor and sweetness of fresh Maine lobsters and clams. This authentic meal includes a steaming cup of traditional New England fish chowder, two luscious bright red lobsters, tender white steamed clams, corn on the cob, and Maine potatoes. Save room for dessert for their famous Blueberry cake with hot fresh coffee or iced tea. With our bellies full, we’ll jump back on the Bennie Alice, cruising along the quaint and picturesque coastline where we could see some seals, lighthouses, ospreys, or fisherman checking their traps! Please note, this is a 3-hour trip to Boothbay Harbor, we will make one stop half way there and one stop back to use the rest rooms. Note: For those that do not like lobsters, an over roasted half chicken is an option.
