The Christmas Boat Parade of lights is an excellent way to start your holiday season. Join us as we celebrate by riding in the parade or spectating. Our boat will be decorated for the parade and we will enjoy classic Christmas music along the way. We will be selling soda, water, and chips aboard; however, feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks in a small cooler. (All open alcoholic beverages must be corked or consumed before docking). The vessel will return to the dock shortly after the parade making this trip roughly 2 hours.

Please take note of which boat you are reserving as we will have two boats set to cruise in the parade. Colored wristbands will be given to each member of your party when you check in according to the boat you are on.
