Sightseeing Cruises from Orleans thru Pleasant Bay to Chatham Harbor and back to Orleans
Looking Forward to Summer
We will post the starting date for our tour season once we have made plans to accommodate the guidelines that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has set up for the safety of our crew and guests.
Some of the protocols will be:
- Requiring masks to be worn by both the captain and guests
- Captain will be behind a plexiglass partition while navigating
- Social distancing groups that are not in the same household
- Providing hand sanitizer
- Cleaning high touch surfaces on our boats between each cruise
This season we will be offering both public and private tour options for all of our standard cruises. We can also customize a private cruise.
We’ll be posting our updated opening and any schedule changes soon, so please check back.
We look forward to welcoming you on our boats this summer!
Stay healthy. Stay Safe.

"Excellent"
“Captain Rob took out our group of 12 on a stunning Sunday morning and we had a lovely time. captain rob was full of stories and information. The boat was clean and smooth. We had one elderly passage and Captain Rob was kind and solicitous in making sure she was well cared for. We’d go out with him again for sure!” – Lisa O.
