  • I highly recommend this cruise. We were able to enjoy the quiet, natural beauty while also learning about the area. I look forward to taking my grandchildren in the summer.

  • The cruise was very nice and relaxing and informative. Cider and cinnamon donuts were provided which was nice also. We would definitely do it again some day.

  • If you are thinking about having Essex River Cruises and Charters host you event, do yourself a favor and book it now! They hosted our wedding and it couldn’t have been more perfect! The customer service you will receive from Alex and Cliff is unmatched. Alex was always helpful and quick to respond to any questions or request I had leading up to the event. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and our guest are still raving about the entire experience! We are amazed how a group of four pulled off the most perfect wedding for 70 people! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us such an amazing experience that we will NEVER forget! We will be back!
  • Essex cruises took a large group of us to a beautiful sandbar. They provided games, tables, chairs, umbrellas and cooked us a delicious lobster and mussel meal (other options were chicken or veggie wrap as well as sides: corn, chowder and potato salad). Hard and soft drinks were also provided. The captain and crew went over the top to make sure we all had a safe and fun time.
  • I had a great experience with this company. The original cruise had to be canceled as there were too few people. I was followed up with and given the opportunity to reschedule. The cruise was packed but the views were beautiful. Wildlife was pointed out and local history told. The drink I ordered was delicious. 😄
  • The guides were great! Saw a lot of wildlife and some ruins with a funny story attributed to them. Thanks for the memorable cruise!
  • Travel/Food/Lifestyle Influencer: @michaela_romanosmith Such a fun experience on Essex River Cruises!! We did a brews + chowda themed sunset cruise which was unique and very fun. The ride was smooth, comfortable and the views are fantastic. We saw lots of birds. The chowder was very yummy. Super friendly staff. Also loved that the staff provided info during the tour which made it educational. Highly recommend!!
