Set sail on the fast, stable catamaran Friendship V for a special charter—an exhilarating journey across the Gulf of Maine to famous Brier Island, Nova Scotia and the legendary Lurcher Shoals. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to traverse international waters in search of rare seabirds, whales, dolphins, and other marine wildlife in the peak of summer!
