Sunset Cruises on the Detroit straits 100% Electric 100% Amazing

Indulge in one of our daily sunset cruises aboard the fully electric Sycorax and enjoy the best of summer in Detroit! Sunset cruises are $1,200 and run from 5:15 p.m. to sunset. Up to eight guests are permitted aboard. Our approach aboard the Sycorax: we offer all of the joy of pleasure cruising and none of the guilt. We’re here to celebrate you — a birthday, a bachelor/ette party, an anniversary or engagement, or just a relaxing summer day on the water — while doing no harm to Mother Nature. No polluting gas fumes. No noisy motor. Just you and the majesty of the Great Lakes. Experience the power of silence aboard the X Shore Eelex 8000 cruiser, which melds Swedish maritime craftsmanship with innovative technology solutions that contribute to a future free of fossil fuels. X Shore has won multiple awards for design and innovation, including the German Design Award Gold (2022), the European Powerboat of the Year (2022), and the CICERO Shades of Green AS Dark Green rating (the highest rating). Gas-powered boats are bad — like, really bad — for the environment. Did you know that a five-hour cruise on a standard yacht burns as much gas as a car would consume driving from New York to L.A.? By choosing an electric cruise, you’re eliminating all that environmental waste. That’s the equivalent of planting six trees per four-hour cruise aboard the Sycorax. And we’ve taken the guesswork out of booking a private boat charter. Our No-BS promise to you: one price only. Unlike most charters, we bill no fuel surcharge, no captain’s fee or insurance, no separate taxes, and we accept no gratuities. One and done. Our dock, Stanton Yards, is conveniently located near downtown Detroit directly across from Belle Isle. Looking for a unique way to celebrate a special occasion? The possibilities are endless! Birthday, Graduation, Mitzvah: Our sunset cruises accommodate up to eight guests and feature customizable itineraries, festive decor, our classic menu options that can be tailored to meet dietary needs, and bluetooth speakers for your music mix or our curated mixes. Complimentary glass of champagne or sparkling apple cider is included. Dry bags, water toys, party games, and karaoke available. Wedding, Bachelor/ette Event, Rehearsal Dinner: Our sunset cruises for up to eight guests are the perfect way to celebrate your special day! Cruises feature customizable itineraries, festive decor, our classic menu options, and a complimentary glass of champagne. We provide bluetooth speakers for your playlists and karaoke, and risque games and curated music mixes for bachelor/ette parties. For weddings, Captain Blair is available as a registered minister. For rehearsal and wedding dinners, we recommend the elegant Hook restaurant in St. Clair Shores and can arrange dockside dedicated service. Proposal/Anniversary: A romantic sunset cruise for two is a memorable way to pop the question or celebrate an anniversary. Cruises feature customizable itineraries, gourmet five-course candlight dinner with white cloth service, and a complimentary glass of champagne. We have bluetooth speakers for your music, or we can provide a romantic music mix — just let us know your song, and nod when it’s time. Photography and video included. Have a unique idea of your own? Reach out and share your vision! Let’s work together to make it happen. A few ideas: Concerts at waterfront venues, from a new perspective History Tour: First Mate Allie will be your tour guide as we cruise the river and Lake St. Clair and explore the Detroit strait’s rich history. Historical comestibles and complimentary grog included. Mother’s/Father’s Day Brunch or Sunset Cruise: Celebrate your parents in style!

Captain Blair and First Mate Allie have picnicked by crystal quiet lakes in the Swiss Alps, spelunked the world’s deepest caves in Vietnam, and lived in Tokyo. They’re passionate about music, especially techno & house. Their best dishes are savory lamb popsicles with duck fat fingerlings (Allie) and lamb bolognese over hand-rolled squid ink pappardelle (Blair). Allie has made seven-minute brownies in six and a half minutes. Occasionally, they’ve been known to break the laws of physics. In their 13 years together, there have been no dull moments. Captain Blair holds* the U.S. Coast Guard OUPV (six-pack) captain’s certification; he’s been sailing since a teenager. First Mate Allie is certified in first aid and adult CPR. Both are avid swimmers, divers, snorkelers, sailors, and all-around water babies.

If we are forced to cancel due to inclement weather, we will advise you a few days in advance and work with you to reschedule or provide a full refund, to your preference. If there will be a total of seven or eight guests, in order to comply with U.S. Coast Guard regulations, we will provide a bareboat charter contract prior to launch. You must retain a U.S. Coast Guard-certified captain, and we suggest Captain Jordan (Captain Blair is only licensed for six guests) - he's very experienced, and we highly recommend him.
