A perfect evening on the Mystic River!

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary aboard this beautiful antique boat. Captain Erick made the evening magical with stories of the area, and the sunset was unforgettable. Truly a five-star experience!

Relaxing, fun, and family-friendly.

We brought our kids for a daytime cruise and had such a great time. The boat was comfortable, and Captain Erick made everyone feel welcome. A highlight of our trip to Mystic!

The most unique way to see Mystic.

I’ve done walking tours and visited the seaport, but nothing compares to seeing Mystic from the water. The history, the scenery, and the charm of the boat made this an incredible outing. Highly recommend!
