The three-hour Mystic Boat Adventures trip starts in Noank and follows the local guide along the Mystic River, past historic waterfront sights, and into nearby coastal waters. Guests operate their own mini powerboats while the guide leads from a separate vessel.
Before departure, the guide provides a 20–25-minute safety and operation briefing. No boating license is required, but the person driving must be at least 18 and show a valid driver’s license.
