This year's St. Mary's River cruise will be aboard a Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours boat on Friday, June 26. Boarding begins at 5:45 pm, and we cast off at 6pm. The cruise is three hours long. We plan to travel through the U.S. Locks, but that may change in order to chase freighters.
Pizza and salad are included in paid passage. There will be a cash bar on board. You can bring your own food and beverages (you cannot bring alcohol).
Reservations are a must, as the group is limited to 100 passengers per boat. Mailed checks must be received no later than Friday, June 19 & will be deposited on Saturday, June 20.
If the cruise is not sold out by June 19, we will take in-person cash/check (US funds only) or online reservations at the Procrastinator Price of $45.00 per General Admission ticket. Youth ticket rates stay the same as listed above. NOTE: No refunds will be issued after June 19.
