The Ultimate Sightseeing Tour on the St. Lawrence River
Enjoy a Picnic Lunch and fully licensed bar as you experience our one of a kind “Heart of the 1000 Islands Tour!” We stop at Boldt Castle on Heart Island to explore millionaire George Boldt’s Rhineland style castle, cruise “Millionaires Row” to view magnificent summer homes of the rich and famous of the gilded age, visit Rock Island Lighthouse on Rock Island to explore the “Keepers Cottage” museum & gift shop, climb to the top of the lighthouse to enjoy the magnificent view of the St. Lawrence Seaway. You may even spot a “Salty” or “Laker” as the ships cruise the seaway from all over the world and great lakes, pleasure boats of all sizes, or kayakers enjoying the scenery. Your Boat, Captain and Crew will be with you every nautical mile for this intimate tour as your guide shares history, mystery, legends and lore of the region. We cruise over 25 Unique miles on the St. Lawrence River, weaving among the islands, getting you closer to more islands than any tour and the only public boat tour to Rock Island Lighthouse State Park.
