Discover Mystic Your Way
When it comes to exploring Mystic, there’s no better way than by water. Our private boat cruises in Mystic give you and your group the exclusive experience of the Mystic River aboard a beautifully maintained, classic wooden picnic boat. Unlike public tours, where you share the space with strangers, this is a fully private charter designed around your needs. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, entertaining visitors, or simply enjoying a sunny day, a private cruise ensures you do it in comfort and style.
From the moment you step aboard, you’ll notice the difference—quiet, intimate, and entirely yours. No lines, no crowds, just the open river, charming scenery, and the freedom to relax. Many guests describe this as their favorite way to see Mystic, and for good reason. It’s the ultimate blend of leisure, luxury, and local charm.

What to Expect Onboard
As your boat glides across the Mystic River, you’ll pass through a mix of history and natural beauty. Look out for waterfront homes with stories dating back to the 1800s, charming marinas, and the world-famous Mystic Seaport. Depending on the timing of your trip, you might even catch the iconic Mystic River Bascule Bridge as it lifts to let tall ships pass.
On board, the seating is cozy and comfortable, offering the perfect atmosphere for conversation, photography, or simply soaking up the views. Because it’s private, you won’t have to worry about competing with other passengers for the best spot—every seat is the best seat on this boat.
