About this tour
Glide through Detroit’s waterways aboard the Sycorax, a fully electric boat that trades engine noise and fumes for a peaceful ride. This 75-minute Detroit Electric Boat Cruise circles Belle Isle, pairing the park’s green shoreline with wide-open river views.
Settle into booth seating or find a spot on the bow as your captain and first mate share local insight. Along the way, look for the Windsor waterfront, tranquil Peche Island, Lake Saint Clair, and historic mansions lining the Detroit River. Onboard comforts include snacks, soda, Wi-Fi, a private restroom, and an award-winning Bluetooth sound system. A complimentary glass of champagne or beer adds a celebratory touch, and you’re welcome to bring additional food and drinks.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 11 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Detroit
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.7. Top 17% in Detroit means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Detroit by this score.
