Water taxi, take a tour of Casco Bay

https://chebeaguewatertaxi.com/ Lots of information on their website. A fun way to get out on the water with an experienced boat captain. See the islands, learn some local history, have dinner at one of the island restaurants - travel to and from by boat! You will always remember this experience.
