Lulu Lobster Boat Rides
The Lulu is a traditional downeast-style lobster boat. On this tour, tourists are guided through a picture perfect Maine postcard. Learn about lobster fishing: watching how a trap is baited and used to lure lobsters, learning about the anatomy and cycles of a lobster, and even the chance to find out what lobster boxing is. Visitors can also view seals and listen to entertaining historical commentary. The Lulu claims to have only had one motion sickness sufferer out of over 30,000 visitors.
