Traveling in the time of covid means staying flexible, lowering the bar a bit, and remembering that everyone (with a few exceptions) are trying their best to keep things afloat. This Clambake is a long-standing summer tradition for my family, and when I found out we'd be able to still ship out on the Bennie Alice this summer even though the pandemic is on, I was purely thrilled. Wondering what to expect, given how much trouble places are having with the staffing, but figuring that several hours on Cabbage Island would be great no matter how the Clambake went. Happy to say that if it hadn't been for everyone wearing masks on the boat (absolutely required, no arguments) and inside the building, I'd never have known anything at all was amiss. The family was just as friendly - and the matriarch was even there as usual, to greet us all as we came off the boat - as ever. The food was just as great as ever, the island was just as beautiful as ever, the cruise (even with masks) was just as nice as ever. And everyone was taking the infection control seriously and behaving responsibly (without getting nutty and weird), so no worries on that front. This Clambake is always an amazing event, which is why so many people make it an annual tradition, and this year it also gave us the gift of briefly forgetting about all of this crazy stuff, and just being able to relax and not worry about any problems bigger than how to keep stains off our t-shirts. Lovely. Would absolutely recommend!

Nine isolated, barren islands off the coast of New Hampshire.
Reviewed By PartyTheNightAway - New Jersey, United States
Great trip! We arrived at approximately 10:30 am and made our way towards the front of the boat. We handed our tickets to the employee and headed to the top floor of the boat. We bought the Isles of Shoals & Portsmouth Harbor Tour, and the entire trip lasted roughly 2 and a half hours. The tour guide was very good and told us about the history of the Portsmouth harbor, as well as pointing out important landmarks as we passed them, including an old abandoned prison. The weather was a little rough- as it was cloudy and windy- but we had a nice trip regardless. Tip: I recommend spending 2.5 hours here if you truly want to see everything
