Our party of four had a private cruise that was wonderful. The seating was very comfortable, and Captain Erick's narration of the river and Mystic Seaport made this a very pleasurable experience.
We had a wonderful time celebrating my sister’s upcoming wedding. Five of us went out with Captain Eric and enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise. The pickup location is easy to find and reach. We had a great time and would recommend to all.
We had such a great time on our private cruise aboard the Novelty with Captain Erick! He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us entertained with stories about the neighboring islands, local history, and even which celebrities own some of the beautiful waterfront homes. His storytelling made the whole ride fun and engaging. The best surprise was meeting Lil Bear, his adorable Chihuahua mix and trusty sea partner, who absolutely stole the show! If you’re visiting Mystic, this cruise is definitely worth adding to your itinerary! Captain Erick also offers sunset cruises, which we’ll definitely have to come back for.
