We start off our visit to Port Dover with a 1-hour cruise, the perfect way to experience the beauty of this charming lakeside town journey as you step onto their comfortable and scenic cruise boat, designed to offer you the best views of the Lake Erie shoreline and the Lynn River.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this gentle sailing on pontoon boats with narration by the entertaining captain about the history and stories of Port Dover, all while you enjoy the gentle breeze and serene waters surrounding you.
