Discover the Maumee River aboard the Sandpiper | Every Saturday, 10 AM – 12 PM
Looking for the perfect way to kick off your weekend? Join us for a fun, relaxing, and unforgettable two-hour cruise down the beautiful Maumee River! Every Saturday morning, the charming Sandpiper sets off on an adventure filled with history, wildlife, and stunning riverfront views.
This isn't just a boat ride — it's a full experience. As you cruise along the river, you'll get an up-close look at grand Victorian mansions and elegant historic homes, many of which are only visible from the water. Your guide will share the fascinating stories behind these estates and the families who built them, bringing the region’s past to life in a whole new way.
Nature lovers will be in awe as bald eagles soar overhead, herons and egrets fish in the shallows, and turtles bask on fallen logs. The Maumee River is alive with wildlife in the early hours, making Saturday mornings the perfect time to explore. It’s peaceful, scenic, and ideal for photographers and anyone who loves the outdoors.
Want to make it even more enjoyable? Pack your favorite breakfast or brunch items and turn the cruise into a floating picnic! Whether it’s coffee and muffins, fruit and cheese, or even a celebratory mimosa, you’re welcome to bring it aboard. Small coolers are encouraged — and yes, adult beverages are welcome too.
Cruising in the morning means you’ll enjoy cooler temperatures, soft lighting for amazing photos, and a calm, quiet river with fewer boats. It’s a laid-back, family-friendly adventure that lets you explore, learn, and relax — and still have the rest of your Saturday free!
This experience is perfect for locals looking to see their city in a new way, visitors wanting something unique, families seeking educational fun, and anyone who loves nature, history, or waterfront views.
Spots fill up fast, so don’t wait — book your Saturday morning cruise today! Come aboard the Sandpiper and discover the hidden treasures of the Maumee River. You’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and ready to take on the weekend!
