Yes! It wouldn't be a Nauti Sisters tour without them. Fresh oysters pulled straight from Casco Bay are part of every tour experience.

Of course! We just ask that everyone drink responsibly and stay safe on the water. Though we have our own coolers and ice, feel free to bring one of our own.

You don't want to, trust us! Maine waters are beautiful but cold, and our boats are working vessels. We'll keep you close enough to appreciate the bay without taking a dip.

Safety is always our first priority. In the event of dangerous weather conditions, we will contact you as soon as possible to reschedule. Maine weather can be unpredictable and we'll always make the call that keeps our guests and crew safe.

Our standard tours accommodate up to 6 guests per boat. For groups of 7–12, we run two boats in tandem so your whole party stays together on the water. For larger groups of up to 46 guests, we offer custom programming through our charter partnerships.

Yes! We grow premium oysters in the cold, clean waters of Casco Bay right here in Yarmouth, Maine. What you taste on the tour comes from our farm, not a distributor.

Sustainability is core to how we operate. Our farm barge, Marge, runs entirely on solar power. Oysters themselves are one of the most sustainable foods on the planet — they filter the water as they grow, requiring no feed, no freshwater, and no land.

Absolutely and we love them. Private charters can be fully customized around your group's goals — oyster tastings, lobster trap demos, coastal cruising, or a drop-off at Chebeague Island Inn. Get in touch and we'll build something around you.
