Rugosa Lobster Boat Tours

About Us

Welcome Aboard Rugosa Lobster Tours!

Step aboard Rugosa, the only traditional wooden Downeast-style lobster boat offering an authentic, hands-on lobster experience in Kennebunkport, Maine. Recognized as one of the top-rated boat attractions in the region, our tour provides an exclusive, personal, and educational journey into Maine’s rich lobstering heritage.

Sailing from the picturesque Kennebunk River behind the historic Nonantum Resort, guests get a true Maine lobsterman’s experience as they:

-Haul lobster traps straight from the ocean
-Measure lobsters to determine if they meet legal size requirements
-Band lobsters just like the pros before they hit the market

For over 12 years, we've provided an immersive and interactive learning experience for visitors and locals alike, sharing the history, sustainability, and techniques of Maine's lobster industry.

In addition to our signature lobster boat tour, we now offer an Adults only tour, that includes a mouth watering, fresh Maine Lobster Roll to enjoy while cruising the Kennebunk River and the scenic Kennebunkport coastline.

We’re excited to introduce Rugosa Fresh Lobster, our premium overnight lobster delivery service! Now, you can enjoy the same high-quality Maine lobster at home, shipped fresh from our shores to your doorstep within 24 hours. Rugosafreshlobster.com
