See Marquette From the Water.
Sometimes the best way to experience Marquette is to leave the shore behind.
Step aboard for a relaxed 1.5-hour private cruise on Lake Superior and see the city waterfront, harbor, lighthouse, and surrounding shoreline from a completely different perspective.
We’ll cruise at an easy pace, giving you time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, listen to music, and simply relax on the water.
A Different View of Marquette
Depending on lake conditions, your route may include views of:
- Marquette’s Lower Harbor
- Marquette Harbor Breakwater and Lighthouse
- The historic waterfront and retired ore dock
- Presque Isle shoreline
- Lake Superior coastline and city views
There’s no packed itinerary and no rushing from one activity to another. Just 90 minutes on Lake Superior with Marquette as your backdrop.
Perfect For
Couples, families, friends, first-time visitors, casual celebrations, or anyone who wants to get out on Lake Superior without committing half the day.
It’s also a welcoming first boating experience for guests who simply want to see the city, enjoy the lake, and have a good time.
1 ticket = 1 adventure for up to 8 people!
For the most comfortable experience, we recommend up to 6 adults, or 6 adults + 2 kids. That said, 8 adults can absolutely fit and enjoy the boat comfortably.
