Mystic River Cruises

We had an amazing time! Erick is so welcoming and very knowledgeable about the Mystic area and the history here. Highly recommend!!

If I could give 100 stars I would! From start to finish Captain Eric was awesome! We booked for part of our bachelorette party and it was absolutely perfect! From taking group photos for us, to telling us the history of the area, to making sure we had everything from hair clips to sunscreen; Captain Eric was prepared for every aspect of the day. He was super personable and the boat was perfect! If you are looking for a relaxing and private experience, this is 100% what you are looking for. We will definitely be booking again!

Can't say enough about Captain Eric! I planned an engagement event and Eric was very accommodating in all my requests. He even videotaped when I popped the question. Great guy to talk to and is very knowledgeable about the mystic area. Highly recommend you take the sunset cruise but they are all great!

What a great way to kick off the summer in Mystic. Captain Erick is a personable, friendly host. His 1947 boat is pristine, and his cruise is so enjoyable even a landlubber would love it! Bring your own food and drink, and enjoy the ride. We'll be back on board this summer - thanks, Captain!

Awesome cruise! Went out with the girls for a few hours in the boat, Captain Eric was super nice, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, & prepared! Def recommend!

What a memorable time! So glad we decided to do this. We went in summer of 2020 and I still think about this boat trip.

Went on this Sunday brunch cruise on a beautiful day. Obviously, weather is important, you are totally open to the weather (sun, wind, rain) on deck.

The crew was nice, efficient and friendly. Bonus on September 16, 2018 a Fast Attack submarine returned with a birds eye view of the full return.

The boat is beautiful with full head and full hand wash sink faculties.
Warning, being handicap is a burden but they say they can accommodate wheelchair (??not much room on deck??). Overweight (you real fat) is a problem getting around you (narrow walkways) and you have to climb stairs and ladders (for the head).

I would recommend you closely look at weather (rain, lightning, windy) before reservations. They will sail rain or shine. I waited 3 days to be sure of the weather.

Fully recommend on non-rain days with light-medium winds.

Captain Erick was the best. He made us feel so welcome and we had so much fun. He was so knowledgeable and safe! Brought ice, waters, had everything we could need. Highly recommend booking with him!

Went out 40 minutes late for our sunset cruise. Was a little aggravated but we were still able to see the sun set. We weren't able to see the bridge side which was a little disappointing due to the late start. Comfortable seating. Make sure to byob and bring ice if you need it. Another couple on the boat wanted ice and there was none. Pricier than the cruises in Newport but holding only 6 people makes it more personal.

Believe the 5 star rating. Captain Erick is such a great guide and his boat was very comfortable. We were going to book with one of the bigger boats but wanted something more personal. After a quick Google search I stumbled upon this business, gave Captain Erick a call, and first impressions go a long way.... I knew I had to push everyone to go with Mystic River Cruises instead. Sooooo glad we did the last trip of the day. The vibe was very relaxed and casual. The sunset was gorgeous, and a huge plus is you're allowed to bring food and drink. This made the sunset even more memorable. I haven't been out on a boat in years, and Captain Erick provided an experience that will never be forgotten. And he's really knowledgeable about what to do around town and suggested a scene at a local bar that took the already great night to another level of fun.
Highly recommend!
