This year there are many special cruises catered to serve Mainers on the 49-passenger river boat, Teciani, The River Tripper, sailing out of Schooner Landing Marina “by the bridge” in Damariscotta.

Every first Wednesday of the month is Senior Citizens Day ($5 off of regular $30 ticket price). The first tour this year will be on Wednesday, June 3,from 2-4 p.m. The River Tripper is a safe and comfortable way to enjoy the sights, sounds and history of the Damariscotta River. Wheelchair guests should call for arrangements: 888-635-4309.

It is followed on Friday, June 5, with our first Locals Day with live music ($20 with Maine ID) from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Steve Jones and his friends, including Nate Schrock, will rock the boat and it coincides with the captain’s 50th birthday too. Let’s kick the season off together while we can still park in town!
