Mike Kiernan, and all of the captains, deckhands, and office staff have enjoyed the opportunity to share the history and beauty of the waterways on the coast of Maine with thousands of visitors and natives alike.<br /><br />We wish all of our many friends, business associates, vendors and most of all the many passengers it has been our pleasure to serve; "fair winds and following seas".<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6632983587073694761-7779844661372977411?l=longreachcruises.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Capt.

Our crew has spent the last few weeks preparing our award-winning cruise boat the SAGADAHOC for another season sharing the wondrous sites, sounds, smells and breezes of the beautiful coast of Maine with visitors far &amp; wide who will come aboard the Sagadahoc to partake in the "Maine Experience". We are excited to have planned a great variety of cruises from short to long with something for everyone from wildlife to lighthouses. <br /><br />Our 2010 Season begins fittingly on "Mariners Day" June 19th. <br /><br />Please visit our website at <a href="http://www.longreachcruises.com/">www.longreachcruises.com</a> and book a ticket ONLINE for a cruise you'll remember. <br /><br />We look forward to welcoming you aboard the SAGADAHOC for another great season. <br /><br />Capt.
