Bar Harbor brothers buy lobster-fishing cruise vessel for tourism

Brothers Andy and James Allen have expanded their tourism excursions by buying the lobster fishing cruise vessel Lulu from Capt. John Nicolai.

The Mount Desert Islander reported that the brothers, who also own the Sea Princess excursion and nature cruise out of Northeast Harbor and Wild Acadia Fun Park in Trenton, wanted to increase their business holdings.

The new vessel will run up to four, two-hour tours a day in season from the Harborside Hotel dock, the newspaper reported.

“John and Coreen Nicolai have built a wonderful business, and we know they have mixed emotions about retiring,” James Allen told the paper. “We are very excited to be able to continue the work they have started.”

Trips can accommodate up to 40 people a day. The duo plans to show tourists trap pulling and how lobster fishing works.
