About Your Trip

Our service is led by Captain Allan, a U.S. Navy veteran with a lifelong passion for fishing. With years of experience on Maine’s waters, Allan is a Registered Maine Guide with a Tidal Water License and a U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s License. His deep knowledge of the local waters and commitment to providing exceptional service makes him the perfect guide for your next fishing adventure.

When you book with us, you’ll fish aboard our top-of-the-line 2020 SeaFox 228 Commander Center Console, equipped with a powerful 200 HP Yamaha engine for smooth cruising. For those days when precision trolling is key, we also have a Yamaha 9.9 and a Garmin Reactor 40 Kicker with autopilot. We’ve outfitted our boat with advanced technology, including a 2024 Garmin Kraken electric motor with spot lock/anchor lock, perfect for jigging. For real-time fish tracking, we use Garmin Livescope on a 12-inch screen and two Cannon electric Downriggers, making sure you’re always at the right spot for that big catch.

Whether you’re looking to land your first fish or chase after your biggest one yet, we cater each trip to your needs and skill level. From families and corporate groups to seasoned anglers, we aim to provide a safe, fun, and personalized experience.

Join us for a day on the water, and let us show you why Maine fishing is more than just a hobby—it’s an adventure you’ll want to repeat.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
