Welcome to Mohawk Maiden Cruises
Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape on the water or a history-packed adventure along one of New York's most scenic waterways, Mohawk Maiden Cruises has something truly special waiting for you. We offer unforgettable pontoon rides on the Champlain Canal and Hudson River, giving you a front-row seat to stunning natural beauty and rich local history. Come cruise with us and create memories that'll last a lifetime.
Private Charters - Your Adventure, Your Way
We specialize in customized private pontoon cruises for up to six passengers. Charter one - or two - of our pontoon vessels and enjoy a completely tailored experience. With advanced notice, we can accommodate up to 12 guests - six on each vessel - making it ideal for family outings, group celebrations, or corporate events. Keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles and other incredible wildlife as our licensed Captains share fascinating stories about the region's history and heritage. Private tours are now available departing from both Schuylerville and Waterford. Same day tours are sometimes available, depending on crew and vessel availability.

Not Ready to Charter? Try Our Open Pontoon Tours
In addition to our private charters, we offer Open Pontoon Tours throughout the month—perfect for solo travelers and small groups who want to explore the Canal without booking the entire boat. Most tours run on Saturdays in Schuylerville and Sundays in Waterford and can be reserved online, but we're happy to schedule additional departures on other days upon request.

We’re proud to again partner with Hudson Crossing Park for the popular On the Canals Hike and History Cruises and the new Lock Through Experiences. Paid for by a grant from the New York State Canal System’s On the Canals Program, these weekly experiences are offered FREE to the public.
