Presque Isle Boat Tours
Sail into breathtaking Erie sunsets on this relaxing 1.5-hour cruise with Presque Isle Boat Tours. Discover why this evening adventure is perfect for nature lovers and sunset chasers alike.
Presque Isle Boat Tours operates seasonal excursions on Lake Erie out of Erie, Pennsylvania. The company offers two primary experiences: a 90-minute narrated Sightseeing Cruise aboard the Lady Katenn that explores Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie shoreline, and a 1.5-hour Sunset Cruise that departs about an hour before sundown to showcase Erie’s renowned evening skies.
The Sightseeing Cruise provides a narrated route highlighting shoreline views, the city skyline, local lighthouses, and opportunities to observe wildlife from the water. The Sunset Cruise focuses on scenic evening vistas, letting passengers enjoy Lake Erie as daylight fades. Both trips depart from Erie’s harbor area and run on scheduled daily or seasonal timetables communicated by the operator.
Presque Isle Boat Tours uses the Lady Katenn for its sightseeing operation and schedules the sunset sail to align with local sunset times. The company’s experiences are designed for a broad range of guests, including families, visitors to Erie, and residents seeking a waterfront perspective. Information about trip durations, departure times, and onboard narration is provided with each tour offering to help visitors plan. Presque Isle Boat Tours is featured on regional guides and listings that highlight Lake Erie recreational activities and waterfront sightseeing options.
