We are not from Maine rather the middle of america but decided to have our destination wedding in Boothbay, ME. My husband was in charge of the rehearsal dinner. After reviewing where we could have a dinner for 120 people he found cabbage island clambakes. It seemed rustic and authentic and became one of the highlights from our wedding weekend.... More

Our one "big thing" we did on our 3-day minivacation was to take the trip out to Cabbage Island (thanks, Trip Advisor! We never would have known to do this without TA!) All 3 of us loved this trip. When we first queued up, I was a little concerned, as it looked like we were embarking on a geriatric tour,... More

Such a nice activity. Quick boat ride around the bay, visiting a quite and special island and topping that with a great lunch. We all had great time

Still one of the best deals in Boothbay. Two lobsters, steamers, and blueberry cake along with a harbor tour. Be sure to visit the gift shop and pick up a sweatshirt or t-shirt. It's always a pleasure to see Mama Moore!!!

I spend a lot of time in Maine but I never get tired of going to Cabbage Island for the Clambake. I always tell people that are going to Maine "If you were only going to be in Maine for an afternoon, go to the Cabbage Island Clambake". It is a wonderful Maine sampler. You get a great boat ride...

My family and I went to Cabbage Island for the second time this summer. Both experiences has been wonderful. This family-run organization is a class act. They've been doing it over fifty years and it shows. We enjoyed the captain narrated mini-tour of Boothbay Harbor on the way out, and appreciated the quick return. Once on the island there is...

This is an annual event for us.. we go once each summer when we visit Maine. Beautiful boat ride and nice lobster clambake once you get to island. Yes, things are a tad overcoooked ( corn, potatoes, the egg) as other reviewers have stated but still tasty! Friendly family run business. Make reservation as sometimes there is no room for... More

This really is a special Maine treat - but not perfect. Just set your expectations. We've been there about a dozen times over the years, taking friends and family, and will be going again. The corn on the cob is definitely over cooked, soft and mushy. In fact, everything is slightly over steamed. They need to add the corn to... More

We go each year in July with a group of friends. The ride over is pleasent and fun. The food is outstanding ! Capable, professional staff. Very clean and scenic indoor and outdoor seating. And did I say the whole thing was terrific? Must go for visitors and locals alike.
