Indulge in one of our daily brunch cruises aboard the fully electric Sycorax and enjoy the best of summer in Detroit. 2 hour cruises are $500 and launch at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm daily. Up to six guests are permitted on the boat. Our approach aboard the Sycorax: we deliver 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 Power Boat 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 three trees per two-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. We provide: - U.S. Coast Guard-certified captain - Complimentary glass of champagne - Selection of nonalcoholic beverages - Coolers, ice, cups, and openers for additional beverages - WiFi - Life jackets - Private portajohn on board - Eco-friendly sunscreen - Dry bags for storage - First aid kit Boat rules: - Sorry, no pets - No glassware - No fishing - Soft-soled shoes or barefoot, please
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.
