Many customers are just looking to get out on the water for a short time making the 90-120 minute tour most popular. Some groups want to spend some extra time taking a swim, seeing more secluded spots, dining at a dock in Noank, or just relaxing on the drift. Let me know what you’re looking for and we can work something out!

Carbon Neutral River Cruise
The Mystic River abounds in natural beauty and cultural heritage and I take stewardship of these resources seriously. I have been involved in climate change policy since 1991. Even back then, sea levels were predicted to rise and now they are changing measurably. While rising waters may lift all boats, not all Mystic’s treasures are so adaptable.
I recently converted Flounder to run on pure biodiesel, giving her a carbon footprint unmatched even by electric boats. In doing so, I’m hoping to raise awareness of the viability of alternative fuels and set a path that other boaters may follow. If you have never heard of Biodiesel, here are a few important facts:
- It is approved for use by major engine manufacturers, like Cummins and Caterpillar
- And it is slated to make up half of Connecticut’s home heating oil market by 2035
