Tour Options
Itinerary
Our captain will give you a brief history of the Charlottetown Harbour - the "Cradle of Confederation" when Canada first became a country, the Mi'kmaq who first settled the province, as well as a bit about the Charlottetown Harbour itself.
The Isola Solaretto will pass silently by beautiful Victoria Park, where you can see the cannons & armaments of this historic fort.
You will see the entrance to Charlottetown Harbour and famous Port-la-Joye (Fort Amherst) at Rocky Point.
Here you will see the "Birthplace of Canada" where the colonies Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick met for the first time in 1864 to determine that Canada would become a country.
Your captain will take you by several multi-million dollar houses, including a $15M home to show you some "rock armouring" for shoreline protection gone wrong. PEI is losing about 1 ft of shoreline every year and there is a right way & a wrong way to protect it.
View Peake's Wharf in front of St. Dunstan's Basilica - home of the famous Cow's Ice Cream ranked the #1 ice cream in the world!
Learn about the tallest structure in Charlottetown - The St. Dunstan's Basilica, which is one of 27 designated Basilica's in Canada and a National Historic Site.
See a piece of PEI history with the Beaconsfield Historic House - one of seven Museum and Heritage PEI sites built in 1877 for wealthy shipbuilder and merchant James Peake. Beaconsfield stands as an enduring symbol of Victorian elegance.

Excellent tour and great entertainment!
It was a really nice option especially when getting on the water because you know that you’re not killing the environment. The jokes are corny, but that’s why they’re funny. Just wish they would’ve played more music instead of talking. Other than that, enjoy the cruise enjoy the drinks and just relax.
Fun experience. Chill all the way. Justyn the guide and Capt Al are great. We learned a lot and had a great time.
An excellent time...lots of history of the area, great music,good food and lots of laughs. A great experience!
We were a group of 5 adults. The atmosphere on the small boat was upbeat, collegial and friendly. The crew were polite, helpful, entertaining and engaging. All travellers were positive and genuinely seemed to be enjoying themselves. The information provided by the tour crew was expansive and helpful in understanding the harbour and history of Prince Edward Island's capital city of Charlottetown. An easy going, light hearted (typical PEI) and professional experience. A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours before exploring the the city that is the 'Birthplace of Canada". (Look it up, then you'll understand)
Amazing experience! Professional and fun
