Sunset Cruises

At the end of your day a peaceful cruise will let you relax!  Whether you are visiting, new to the area, or a local who just wants to remember what a beautiful area we live in, this is a great opportunity to join us  aboard RiverQuest and experience the river as we cruise along these unspoiled waters.

Enjoy the spectacular beauty as we aimlessly cruise the lower Connecticut River, an area that the Nature Conservancy considers to be “One of the Last Great Places”.  On this cruise, about two hours in length, we do only light narration so that you can just relax and enjoy.

We may have a small table for you and there will be a chair available so that you can sit comfortably during the cruise. The cruise is very casual, you can walk about the boat if you’d like.

Bring an individual picnic dinner with you and your “favorite” beverage (alcohol is allowed). We do not have any food on board, so make your favorite picnic or stop by a local eatery and pick something up.

No one under 12 years old please.

All Sunset Cruises: $40. Adults only, no one under 12.

NOTE: Tree Swallow Sunset Cruises different price: $45.
