Haunted River Cruise

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

We proudly offer the only 100% electric boat cruises in Southeast Michigan. No emissions. No fumes. No noise. Just pure and peaceful fun on Detroit's incomparable waterways.

Cruise down the Detroit River as we recount the spooky, mysterious and simply inexplicable stories that are so rich in Detroit’s history. From the gangster drownings of Prohibition to the deadly shipwrecks on the Detroit River and the curse of Peche Island, we'll recount the many mysteries that still wrench our city today. Sip on champagne, beer and themed cocktails; we’ll cruise to the eerie music of October Monsters. We’ll have a true witch’s Ouija board to answer your darkest questions.

All cruises include a captain and first mate tour guide. The cutting-edge Sycorax electric vessel features booth-style seating with a teak table in the stern, ample bow seating, an award-winning sound system, and a private head.

Cruises depart from Stanton Yards near downtown Detroit. Gratuity included in price.
