For a truly unique adventure, take a trip down the renowned Cape Cod Canal. These cruises depart from the Town Pier in the charming Victorian village of Onset and, from there, move through the tranquil harbor, out into the Canal. Passing under the impressive railroad and highway bridges, you join a parade of pleasure boats and large commercial vessels as a knowledgeable commentator leads you on a 2- or 3-hour tour of the history and natural beauty of this fascinating waterway. The 3-hour cruise takes you all the way through the Cape Cod Canal to the Sandwich Yacht Basin. Enjoy live commentary about the fascinating history and sights. The 2-hour cruise is a shorter narrated sightseeing voyage which sails 2/3 the distance of the longer cruise before returning. Points of interest along the canal include: Taylor Point, Massachusetts Maritime Academy Training Ship, Vertical Lift Railroad Bridge, Aptucxet Trading Post, Bourne Bridge, Gray Gables, Herring Run, Sagamore Bridge, Canal Electric, Fish Pier, Sandwich Boat Basin, Cape Cod Bay.
