Watch Out for Those Claws

Join a Real Maine Lobsterman on a Lobster Boat Tour from Rockland, Maine

If you've ever wondered what a Maine lobsterman's day is like, come along on this photo tour or book a spot aboard the Captain Jack Lobster Boat Adventure.
Maine Lobster Boat Tour Photo - Captain Hale Slips Rubber Bands Over a Lobster's Claws

Once Captain Hale determines a lobster is a keeper, he uses a tool to slip thick rubber bands over the lobster's claws and places it in the cooler. In 2006 when we took our lobster boat tour, Maine lobstermen were getting $4.10 per pound for lobster.
