New England Day Trips -A Salty Seaside Adventure
ss
Tuesday, June 16, 2026

Join us for a fun, family-friendly boat cruise as we haul in real lobster traps, discover local marine life, and cruise through beautiful historic Plymouth Harbor.  Watch as lobsters, crabs, and other sea creatures are brought up from the traps, learn about lobster fishery and ocean conserva
tion, and then see everything returned safely to the sea. It’s a lively mix of learning, coastal scenery, and the perfect way to experience the working harbor and the wonders of the ocean!

Lunch will be on your own at the beloved Lobster Hut, located right on Town Wharf in the heart of historic Plymouth.  A true local landmark, the Lobster Hut has been an icon of the waterfront for generations.  From its classic red, glowing “Lobster Hut” sign to its reputation for “Seafood at its Best,” this casual seaside spot offers more than just a meal — it’s a slice of New England coastal tradition.
