This CDN Heritage Vessel underwent an 8 yr, $1M renovation to become North America’s LARGEST solar-powered vessel & the world’s FIRST solar-powered dinner cruise boat, now providing daily tours which cannot be done anywhere else on the planet.
No emissions. No noise. No smell. This is “tourism refined”. Instead of a loud, smelly diesel-powered tour, enjoy local beer & wine and fresh seafood right on board during your tour. Beautiful, slow, relaxing sights in the SHELTERED WATERS of Charlottetown Harbour in a comfortable covered boat with large windows by every seat & opening roof hatches to catch the sun.
This historical sight-seeing tour is supported by live guided commentary, WiFi, 4 video screens, French & Italian subtitles, trivia with prizes & more!
Large bathroom & booth seating for your comfort. Lots of room to walk around & explore the facinating 1967 Montreal Expo memorabilia, from which our boat was created!

Our captain will give you a brief history of the Charlottetown Harbour – the “Cradle of Confederation” when Canada first became a country, the Mi’kmaq who first settled the province, as well as a bit about the Charlottetown Harbour itself.
The Isola Solaretto will pass silently by beautiful Victoria Park, where you can see the cannons & armaments of this historic fort.
You will see the entrance to Charlottetown Harbour and famous Port-la-Joye (Fort Amherst) at Rocky Point.
Here you will see the “Birthplace of Canada” where the colonies Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia & New Brunswick met for the first time in 1864 to determine that Canada would become a country.
Your captain will take you by several multi-million dollar houses, including a $15M home to show you some “rock armouring” for shoreline protection gone wrong. PEI is losing about 1 ft of shoreline every year and there is a right way & a wrong way to protect it.
