We arrived by tour bus early. So we checked in to Sebago and got our boat passes early. We asked for a lunch recommendation and they were spot on to recommend the Brewery. We had a delicious lunch before the cruise.
After lunch, we boarded the large catamaran. The crew introduced themselves and provided equipment right away. They demonstrated safety techniques and communication signals as we got closer to the reef.
When we arrived at the reef, they provided multiple entries to the water. Everyone had opportunity to get in the water, either by jumping from the side or climbing down the ladder.
The reef did not disappoint. The crevices provided lots of areas for fish of all sizes. The best advice given by the crew was to go slow. That’s when you see the most. I floated in the same area over a crevice most of the hour that we were there and saw schools of angel fish, parrotfish and some other fish (large and small) that I didn’t identify. They have fish and coral guides on the boat for those interested in identifying what they saw.
After snorkeling, the bar and concession were opened for the hour-long ride back to the dock. Beer, wine, lemonade, and water were free, and they had a good selection. Chips were $2.
The red sail was cast for the return trip. The breeze was perfect. We’re looking forward to a return trip!
