What You’ll Experience
Imagine this: You’re out on the water, the evening sun casting golden hues across the sky, and at your side, there’s a cheerful pup, wagging its tail and having the time of its life taking in all the sights (and smells!) of Casco Bay.
Each cruise gives you the chance to get to know an adoptable dog, enjoy a beautiful sunset at sea, support a great cause, and maybe even find the newest member of your family!
Even if you’re not looking to adopt, you can help make a difference simply by joining our Adoptable Dog Cruise and having a great time with a lovable pup as we help them find their forever family.

Even if you’re not looking or able to adopt right now, we would love to have you aboard!
The more people who join and share their experience, the more exposure we can get for animals in need. Who knows– maybe the photo you share to social media gets that pup connected with their future family!
