Overview

Board the Elizabeth Grace for this exclusive one-of-a-kind experience. Whether you are a local or visiting from away, the stone fortresses built in the early 19th century in Portland Harbour are always captivating. They are imposing reminders of days not too far gone when the defence of our coastline required their presence.

Despite their prominence, the forts are not easy to access for a variety of reasons, and most locals and visitors have never been to Fort Scammel, the only fort in the Harbour to see active combat. Fortunately, the owners of Fort Scammel have partnered with us to offer private tours of this incredible historic site. This is an experience NOT TO BE MISSED! Along the way, we’ll cruise past some of the other great sights in the bay, including the iconic lighthouses.

GROUP OF 6 OR MORE? Please reach out to us about private charter options for the best experience possible!

Our Fort Tour on a Private Island has a 4 PERSON MINIMUM to operate.
