Time on the water—not just time on board.
The one-hour tour is a guided mini powerboat outing from Noank near Mystic, Connecticut. You control your own boat as the guide leads the group. It is a good fit for visitors who want the self-drive format in a shorter block of time.
No boating license is required. Before the group heads out, the guide leads a 20–25-minute safety and boat-operation briefing. Plan to arrive early for check-in and instructions.
