About

Offered 3 times a day, three days a week, you and your party of up to six people will have the entire boat to yourselves as we explore Lake Champlain and soak up the beauty of Vermont. BYOB, snacks, or a full picnic to take advantage of our many decks, seating options, and cabin spaces.

What to bring

Attire & accessories

We recommend that you wear and/or bring attire that will keep you comfortable for your 90 minute cruise. Remember your camera, sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, comfortable non-marking shoes (please, no high heels or heavy boots.) Sneakers or bare feet are fine! We provide comfortable seating (and plush blankets if it gets chilly!)

Food & beverages

We encourage you to bring your own food and beverages if you like. What kind of food? Think of it as a picnic on the water with foods that are easy to serve and consume in an informal setting. (Please keep in mind that we do not have reheating/re-warming options available on the vessel.)

To make things really easy, we can highly recommend our friends at “Spot on the Dock” restaurant, located right at the marina. You can order directly through the “Toast” app and, given adequate notice (usually 60 minutes or less), they can have your order ready in time for your cruise. But of course Burlington is a “foodie” town, so there are a lot of other options available to you. We provide fresh water, ice, and setups including plates, utensils, drink ware, napkins, serving ware, etc.

Adventure Tips

Bring Your Own Food & Drinks

The private yacht welcomes you to bring your own picnic supplies, so pack your favorite snacks and beverages to enjoy on board.

Wear Comfortable Footwear

Choose non-slip, comfortable shoes as yachts can have slick decks and limited foot space.

Apply Sunscreen Generously

The sun reflecting off the water can be strong, so protect your skin with a high SPF sunscreen.

Arrive Early for Check-In

Arriving 10–15 minutes before the scheduled time ensures a smooth boarding process and maximizes your time on the water.
