  • Mystic Boat Adventures offers unique, one of a kind boat tours where you get to drive the boat yourself for 3 hours. This tour offers a fun and more relaxing 2 hour boat ride up the Mystic River, under the drawbridge and around the Mystic Seaport, then back to open water for an hour of full throttle excitement.

  • 2 Bottles of Water

Considerations

  • You must be 18 years old with a valid driver’s license to operate the boat.
  • For safety reasons, there is a weight limit of 250 pounds per person.
  • Children 8 years old and up may ride on the boat with an adult. Life preservers must be worn for all children 8 years old to 15 years old.

We provide a small cooler with two bottles of water for each boat. You may bring a small lunch, snacks, and other drinks if you would like to. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited during the tour. The driver must be under the legal limit for alcohol to navigate the boat. If a driver appears to be under the influence of alcohol, we have the right to refuse service to them.

2 people must be in each boat that goes out on the tour (excluding the guide boat). In the event you have an odd number in your party, one person will ride solo. That person must meet the requirements for operating a watercraft (see requirements here). There will be opportunities to switch drivers and riders during the tour.

If a person doesn’t meet eligibility requirements to operate one of our boats (18 years of age, and possesses a valid driver’s license) they will be paired with a person from another party.
