Why be a landlubber when
you can get out on the water and see the
world from a mariner's point of view?

Mystic, Connecticut is all about mariners and the sea, so why not get out on the water? You can easily and enjoyably cruise the Mystic River and Long Island Sound. Mystic Seaport Museum has numerous ways that you can get out on the water, enjoy cooler air, and see the restored village and the Mystic River from a different viewpoint from mid-May through mid-October (Columbus Day). Daytime cruises (10 am to 5 pm) are 30 minutes long. Late afternoon/evening cruises last 90 minutes. All cruises require good weather, and are subject to a fee in addition to the museum admission fee. SabinoThis little steamboat is perhaps the most beloved of Mystic Seaport's vessels, as it takes visitors on 30-minute daytime cruises up the Mystic River from mid-May through mid-October (Columbus Day). There's also a 90-minute late afternoon cruise down the river. ResoluteThis 26-foot, diesel-powered open launch takes passengers on 30-minute Mystic River cruises similar to those of the Sabino. Bring sunblock and drinking water. Breck MarshallThis sleek 20-foot sailboat, a reproduction of a Crosby catboat, sets out on quiet, wind-powered 30-minute cruises when conditions are right, and offers a very different experience than the motor-driven Sabino and Resolute. Schooner ARGIAIndependent of Mystic Seaport, the 81-foot (25-meter) sailing ship Argia takes up to 49 voyagers on half-day and sunset cruises in the protected waters of Long Island Sound and Fishers Island. The Argia sails every day (weather permitting) from May through October. It's kind of like a Maine windjammer cruise, but in Mystic, Connecticut. More... Small Boat RentalsWant to do it yourself?
