The Rangeley Lakes Region is one of Maine's best-kept birding secrets - a place where northern forest meets pristine water, and breeding warblers arrive by the thousands each spring.

Explore by boat aboard our custom 25-foot vessel, built for birding these quiet coves and rocky shorelines. Or mix up the day with a hike into the boreal landscape to get up close to the diversity of birds that make this special place home during the summer months.

Our record? Eighteen warbler species in a single day.

From our home base on the Merrimack River, the Massachusetts and New Hampshire coast opens up and we go where the birds are.

Conditions shape each trip. A calm morning might mean a run offshore to Jeffreys Ledge, where shearwaters and storm-petrels work the swells. Choppier days bring us to protected salt marshes teeming with herons and shorebirds, or upriver into the Merrimack's brackish reaches where freshwater and tidal species overlap. Between Portsmouth, NH and Rockport, MA we know the hotspots and we know when each one is worth the visit.

Our custom 25-foot birding boat handles all of it, from open ocean to shallow estuaries.

We’ll operate from one of two locations: Boston Harbor, with easy access to the harbor islands and offshore pelagic birding, or the Salem/Beverly, MA area, ideally positioned for island routes and excellent pelagic opportunities beyond.

New England is home to extraordinary birding, from coastal seabird colonies to woodland birds and everything in between, our diverse landscape and waterways translate to a multiplicity of bird species. Whatever your birding ambition, we'll design a trip around it.

Picture yourself paddling down a pristine waterway at dawn after breaking camp on day three of a moving five day birding/camping trip, binoculars and camera ready, with a guide who knows every turn in the waterway. Or waiting in one of our floating photography blinds, positioned at a location we've spent years perfecting, as your target species settles into frame.

Tell us what you're hoping to see or capture. We'll handle the logistics, the local knowledge, and the details that turn a good trip into an unforgettable one.
