This 1967 CDN Heritage Vessel underwent an 8 yr, $1M renovation to become North America's LARGEST solar-powered vessel & the world's FIRST solar dinner cruise boat, now providing daily cruises with food & beverage options available right on board.

No emissions. No noise. No smell. This is "tourism refined". Instead of a loud, smelly, diesel-powered tour, have a true experience on the water with drinks, & food right on the boat. Beautiful sights in the SHELTERED WATERS of Charlottetown Harbour in a comfortable covered boat, large windows by every seat & opening roof hatches to catch the sun.

This historical sight-seeing experience is has live commentary, WiFi, 4 video screens, French & Italian subtitles, trivia with prizes & more!

Large bathroom & booth seating for your comfort. Lots of room to walk around, steer the boat & explore the facinating '67 Montreal Expo memorabilia, for which our boat was built!
