Snow Pond Cruises, Oakland

Relaxing and informative private cruises of the 2nd largest Belgrade lake. Special events, romantic sunset/moonlight cruises, lunch or dinner cruises or "just for fun" on the lake private cruises from 2 hours to all day or night to meet your individual needs. A cruise of beautiful Snow Pond (Messalonskee Lake) is a great way to enjoy the day or night.

We also offer a one, two and three hour Historical Tours. The three-hour Historical Tour, also known as the Gilligan Cruise features history of the Lake including the treasured Messalonskee Lake Marsh, a 1300 acre emergent wetland and the largest breeding ground in Maine for the Maine Black Tern. View an eagle's nest and we are happy to report we have two newly hatched Eagle Chicks that should be visible from the boat.

Again, we offer special event/celebration cruises such as birthdays, baby/bridal showers, bride/bachelor parties, team building, board meetings, memorials, and one of our favorites - the moonlight romantic cruises. You may even wish as many couples have your wedding on the Snowdrifter II performed by Captain Gary, a notary public!

Whether you want to take a private Historical Tour or if you just want to cruise the Lake, we will customize your cruise by the hour or the day to accommodate your needs guaranteed to make your time a true delight.
