Take a 90 minute narrated sightseeing cruise aboard the Essex River Queen!  Two passes valid weekdays only.  Not valid on Special Cruises.  Reservations required!

Essex River Cruises operates within a tidal estuary. Our tour explores the salt marsh and navigates within a protected bay; we do not operate on the open ocean. However, 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, cameras, knick knacks, snacks and gift certificates.

Essex River Cruises & Charters is located in the village of Essex, MA, one of the four communities that comprise Cape Ann, along with Gloucester, Rockport, and Manchester-by-the-Sea.  Plenty of free parking on site. Buses and RVs are welcome.  Vessels have a restroom on board.  Wheelchair accessible.
