Join us on a fantastic tour that perfectly captures the essence of Door County! Immerse yourself in the fascinating human history and stunning scenery, both natural and man-made.

Your journey starts with a leisurely cruise along the north shore of Sister Bay, where you’ll witness some of the best man-made beauty this county has to offer. As we approach the towering bluffs of Ellison Bay Bluff Park, keep an eye out for Wisconsin’s largest private home along the bayside bluffs, and the County Park’s famous lookout!

As you continue north towards Door Bluff Headland Park and into Gills Rock, we’ll share captivating stories of Northern Door County’s rich commercial fishing heritage, tales of the Lake’s historical shipwrecks, and even the fascinating story of a historic Death’s Door battle.

Weather permitting, you’ll get you up close to Plum Island Lighthouse and maybe even catch a glimpse of the old Coast Guard station at Death's Door!

Experience an adventure you won’t forget!

The boat was well maintained and clean. I loved the option of sitting up stairs in the open air and having an enclosed area downstairs to get out of the wind. The crew was curtious and knowledgeable. The information that was shared about the area was interesting and entertaining.

Our guide Connie was knowledgable and pleasant. Being 5th generation in the area, she knows a lot of local history. She was also good at directing us to local sites. We saw bald eagles and white pelicans.
Great tour

Great tour!! Chuck was very knowledgeable, Captain Sam and First Mate Tom were great at making the cruise accessible ( and fun) by putting up a ramp so my husband could board on his mobility scooter. Would highly recommend this cruise!!
Fast and furious

Bring a jacket! Beautiful views, but hard to hear the narrator due to going at high rate of speed. Paused a few times to point out some highlights. Nice guys running the show, good with kids.
