Three of Strong Spirits is a renowned distillery nestled in East Bayside, Portland, Maine. Their journey started with a simple conversation between friends that has evolved into a community-focused brand, crafting world-class rums that reflect the spirit of Maine. They use 100% organic evaporated cane syrup and molasses, yeast, and pure water from Maine’s beautiful Sebago Lake to craft their delicious rums. Not just this, they have also launched a line of shelf-stable ready-to-drink canned craft cocktails that bring the bar right to you!

Ninety minutes later, we’ll have you safe and sound back in the Old Port. We love leaving our guests richer one great boat cruise of Portland. We know you’ll enjoy memories of a Portland, Maine boat tour and the vibrant flavors of local Maine rum for years.

As a centerpiece to our tour, we dock at House Island – a private gem in the heart of Casco Bay. Here lies the historic Fort Scammel, an 18th-century marvel with secrets of the past and breathtaking views of the Portland skyline and harbor. While our Rum Tour stays on the pier, Fort Scammel itself is worth a deeper exploration.

This unique venue offers an impressive blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and Maine’s coastal charm. Whether you’re a history buff or simply in love with Maine’s enchanting landscapes, a visit to House Island and Fort Scammel is an absolute must when in Portland.
