What a wonderful way to spend a day. Meander within a tidal estuary, as you explore the salt marsh and navigate within a protected bay; the cruise does not operate on the open ocean.

Essex River Cruises & Charters’ regularly scheduled daily narrated public cruises operate seven days a week, from Mother's Day weekend in May through the third weekend in October. Reservations are suggested or call to confirm the cruise schedule before you travel. 

Remember we are Mother Nature’s guests cruising in coastal waters where the temperature may be lower than on land, so dress accordingly. We suggest that you wear comfortable clothes and shoes. If you forget something or would like to bring home a souvenir we have most anything you might want in our gift shop including hats, sweatshirts, knick knacks, snacks and gift certificates.

Available weekdays only.
