Enjoy a relaxing Harbor Tour with live narration of the whaling days, shipwrecks, pirates and pilgrims. Our cruise takes us within yards of the scenic Long Point Lighthouse and the very tip of Cape Cod. You'll learn interesting facts about the history and wildlife of this famous harbor. And just a short distance from our dock we can view Provincetown fishing vessels against the backdrop of the Pilgrim Monument.
Each day we see a variety of different sea birds and marine life. Check out our Photo Gallery for some examples of things we have seen on previous trips. For more about the harbor, see the Wikipedia page.
Offered 2-3 times daily during July and August and also at select times during May, June, September, and October.
Duration - one hour and 15 minutes
The "Critter Cruise" won Cape Cod Life magazine's 2010 Gold Readers' Choice Award for
Best Kids' Activity on the Outer Cape
for the third time! Whale watching continues to place second, right behind us.
Every afternoon we roll up our sleeves to get some hands-on experience. One of our guests named this trip the "Critter Cruise" when they saw all of the critters we discovered, that name stuck! An expert naturalist will be our guide as we explore the local marine world. You can help pull up a lobster pot or a bottom dredge and see what's inside.
We keep some of the catch in our "Tide Pool Touch Tank" while we learn more about them. The touch tank is a miniature marine habitat that allows us to see all of our "critters" in a natural setting.
As the name suggests, the touch tank has a few species that you will be able to touch. Our naturalist will show you how to handle each one safely, and without injury to the animal. We practice "catch and release" which means that all of our catch is later returned, unharmed, to the area that it was collected from.
Note that October features Women's Nature Cruises as well.

Now offered only by private charter at 9 a.m. The Critter Cruise has always been the favorite for families because there's just so much to do the entire time, and it's different every time we go out, but the Pirate Cruise is still available as a private charter option at 9 a.m. with advance registration. The cost now is $250 per trip for the first up to 20 people.
Duration - one hour
Do you have a pirate or two in your group?
Sign on for a fun-filled adventure as we solve the riddle of the secret treasure map. All participating pirates are outfitted with items of pirate paraphernalia, and all are invited to help pull up the treasure and share in it once it is found.
Offered most evenings and by private charter throughout the season
Duration - 90 minutes
Every day, as dusk approaches, the harbor is transformed by the fiery colors of the setting sun. Sea birds return to roost on the breakwater as we take a gentle cruise close past Long Point Lighthouse within view of two more lighthouses and through our quiet anchorage in the harbor.
You can toast the end of the day, or the beginning of the night life in Provincetown with complimentary hors d'oeuvres and refreshments!
Note that alternate Tuesday evenings in July and August now feature a special new family-oriented "Quiky Circus Cruise." We proudly welcome Ellen Anthony's Quirky Circus puppet show to the boat in 2009.
Tuesday evenings only
Duration - one hour.
A relaxed evening ride on the harbor for the whole family with the magic of Provincetown's unique sunset ambiance. Soft drinks and snacks available at $1 each.
