July Boatnerd Cruise - Sunset Cruise
Friday, July 17, 2026
Departure Time 7:30 PM Adults $28, Kids $8
Set sail on a 2½–3 hour July Boatnerd Cruise, timed for the warm summer evenings when the St. Marys River is alive with activity. With comfortable temperatures and long daylight hours, this cruise is perfect for Freighter Chasing, photography, and enjoying the Soo Locks in peak-season style.
Our carefully planned summer route brings you up close to Great Lakes freighters, giving Boatnerds, Ship Junkies, families, and first-time visitors unforgettable views and photo opportunities. Whether we see one ship or several, there’s no better place for warm-weather maritime fun than out on the water.
Enjoy a lively, summer atmosphere featuring:
Prime freighter viewing just yards away
Light appetizers, pizza, and soft drinks courtesy of our generous sponsors
Special guests with ship stories, maritime history, and Q&A
Games, local prizes, and giveaways
Topside viewing at its best in the warm summer breeze
Fun for the whole family, with something for every age
Freighter traffic can vary, and while it’s rare not to see a ship, being on the water with fellow Boatnerds is half the fun. After all — we’re in the same boat!
Our Boatnerd Cruises fill up quickly, so we recommend reserving your tickets early. Bring a friend, bring your camera, fun for all ages! — the more Boatnerds on board, the better!
