Captain Zachary Lunt is fully licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard holding a 100-ton Master's Captain's License issued in 2002.
Captain Zach's tours are based at the Lunt Lobster Company wharf in Frenchboro. Lunt Lobster Company is now in its 58th year of operation and includes Lunt's Dockside Deli, a great place to eat, relax, and enjoy the island's beauty.
The Lunt family has been fishing the waters off Frenchboro, Long Island for nearly 200 years. Captain Zachary D. Lunt is a ninth generation islander who now works the waters of Blue Hill Bay as his ancestors have for generations. On each special trip, he will share insights, history, and knowledge of the lobster fishing business and island life with his passengers. This a rare opportunity to climb aboard a working lobster boat in an authentic island fishing village to learn the lobster fishing business first-hand.
Captain Zach's 90-minute lobster cruises will take place aboard the 32-foot Sandi or the 38-foot Zachary Nathaniel. Both are downeast-style working lobster boats the real thing. Each tour includes a boat ride on the bay, the hauling and setting of several lobster traps, and a full explanation of how the lobsters are caught and how the lobster business works. Lobster traps may catch a number of sea creatures in addition to lobsters, including crabs, codfish, sea urchins, and sea pumpkins. There will be plenty of opportunities for questions and photos. While every trip is subject to the whims of nature, passengers might also see seals, bald eagles, fish, and other wildlife.
