Take A Boat Ride
Situated on one of the loveliest harbors in the 1000 Islands, the Antique Boat Museum offers every visitor a perfect setting for getting on the water and enjoying the wonderful St. Lawrence River. Step off our docks and on to a boat for fast-paced action or relaxing fun. We promise you'll experience the 1000 Islands in a whole new way! Please note that all on-water programs are weather-dependent, and the Museum reserves the right to cancel and re-book boat rides.
Wednesday Oar, Paddle and Sail Nights
From 5 to 7:30 pm every Wednesday from late June to Labor Day, visitors and community members are able to go out on the water. You can row, paddle, go sailing with a Museum instructor or sail one of our boats on their own. No pre-registration is required, and people at all skill levels are welcome. This is a drop-in program, and individuals, couples, and families are all welcome to attend. The Museum's sailing fleet includes the Beetle Cat Rose Blossom II, the reproduction Rushton catboat Rebecca, the Skaneateles skiff Margaret G, the 88-class racing skiff Torpedo, the Bluenose keelboat Rudolph, six International Optimist Dinghies and three Sunfish sailboats.

St. Lawrence Skiffs
Those seeking a more tranquil experience on the water can take a quiet row in a traditional St. Lawrence Skiff on the protected waters of French Creek Bay. From late June to Labor Day, attendants are on hand daily in the Skiff Livery to help you get on the water. Use of the skiffs is included with Museum admission, but donations to help with the upkeep of the boats are gratefully accepted. Our skiffs vary in size, but 2-3 people is a comfortable crew for one boat.
