On Prince Edward Island’s eastern shore, the small town of Montague offers a fresh take on outdoor adventure with Three Rivers Boat Tours’ Cruise and Brews experience. This 2.5-hour boat tour rolls gentle waters of the Montague and Brudenell Rivers into a laid-back yet engaging outing perfect for anyone seeking the rhythm of coastal life—with a craft beer twist.
Navigating along these calm waterways, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an evolving canvas of rugged coastline, tidal inlets, and salt-kissed forests. Seals often lounge on hidden rock ledges, occasionally slipping beneath the water’s surface, while osprey hover high before plunging to catch fish. Sea birds, both resident and migratory, punctuate the skyline with cries and graceful flight.
The vessel accommodates a maximum of 12 guests, fostering an intimate atmosphere to soak in island culture and scenery. Whether you cast a line for lively mackerel with provided fishing gear or simply unwind on deck with a cold artisan brew, the trip blends recreation with relaxation. The rivers themselves are a quiet counterpoint to the more boisterous Gulf of St. Lawrence minutes away—offering a unique perspective of PEI’s natural diversity.
After the cruise, the trip extends ashore to Montague’s Bogside Brewing and Barbecue, just a short stroll from the marina. Here, savor locally crafted beers alongside hearty smoked fare—a fitting cap to a day spent on water and wind. It’s this combination of wildlife viewing, hands-on fishing, and island flavor that sets Three Rivers Boat Tours apart.
