Private Cruises and More at the Waterford Harbor

Whether you're a longtime fan of Captain Maria's rides at the Waterford Harbor Farmer's Market or you're discovering us for the first time, we've got some exciting news. We're thrilled to introduce the Mohawk Maiden III, an 18-foot SunTracker Bass Buggy, now stationed  full time in Waterford. This means more availability, more flexibility, and more ways to get out on the water whenever the mood strikes. All trips depart from the Waterford Harbor Docks, making it easy and convenient to start your adventure.

Private Adventures

Want the whole boat to yourself and your crew? Our private cruises are perfect for small groups of up to six passengers. Customize your route, set your pace, and enjoy a truly personal experience on the water. It's your trip — we're just here to make it amazing.

Our standard cruise is $200 for up to six passengers for up to two hours, but we can tailor an experience to meet your specific needs.

Please note: Any cruise that includes a lock-through must be finished with the  lock by 6:00 pm.

Sunset Cruises

There's nothing quite like watching the sun dip below the horizon from the water. Our Sunset Cruises depart at 6:30 pm and offer a relaxing, scenic way to wind down your day. Grab your favorite people and come enjoy those golden hour views from our brand new Mohawk Maiden III.

Open Pontoon Tours

Not ready to book a full private tour? No worries — we've got you covered! A few times each month, usually on Sunday afternoons, we offer open pontoon tours that are perfect for solo travelers, couples, or anyone who just wants to dip their toes into the experience. These tours typically run 60 to 90 minutes and are priced at just $35 per person. It's a laid-back, budget-friendly way to explore the Hudson River without any fuss.

Free Rides at the Waterford Harbor Farmer's Market

Of course, Captain Maria will continue to offer her FREE pontoon rides at the Waterford  Harbor Farmer's Market - always on the first Sunday of the month and sometimes on other Sundays as well.
