Board a 1920’s commuter-style wood yacht for a fun and fact-filled tour of the lower Schuylkill (below the falls), rain or shine. Charlie, an entertaining keeper of a very nice casual cash bar (beer, wine, mixed drinks, some snacks), narrates the trip with unique things you never knew about Philadelphia’s past, present, and future. Highlights of his talk include Bartram’s Garden of the 1700s, Fairmount Water Works of the 1800s, iconic buildings of the 1900s, and award-winning sky-scrapers of the 2000s.
Some other things to note about the cruise:
• Soft drinks, beer, wine, mixed drinks, and chips available for purchase on board. You may bring your own food, but not your own beverages.
• The cruise will happen rain or shine, unless there is extreme weather – which has been happening on average only once a year. In the case of heavy rain, there are roll down windows and a roof over 75% of the deck.
• There is a small but clean restroom or “head” on board.
• Flat-soled shoes are best on a boat. Otherwise, dress for the weather. You might want to bring a jacket if it’s rainy or windy, as the temperature on the river is cooler than in the city.
• Please NOTE: The yacht is not handicapped-accessible. Smoking, vaping, and dogs (except for service dogs) are not allowed on the cruise. Children are allowed.
Under the guidance of two guys who work for the love of boating, Patriot Harbor Lines has offered harbor and river cruises on the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers since 2013.
