Story

A New Wave of Adventure

Maine BayCycle was born from a passion for the sea and a desire to offer something truly unique to the Portland area. Inspired by the vibrant cycling culture and the picturesque landscapes of Casco Bay, we set out to create a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the thrill of cycling with the serenity of a boat ride. Our story is one of innovation and community, as we strive to connect people with the natural beauty of Maine's coastline. Whether you're a local or a visitor, our tours promise a refreshing escape from the ordinary, inviting you to pedal, relax, and soak in the stunning views.
