Napanee River Tours

!!THANK YOU!!

As we close out our 2025 season all of us at Napanee River Tours want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single person who joined us.

♥️ What an incredible season it was. ♥️

This year, we welcomed guests from across Canada and all over the world — visitors from throughout Europe, Asia, Indonesia, India, Australia, The Philippines, Nepal, Sri Lanka and so many more - each bringing their own stories, smiles, and curiosity about our beautiful stretch of river.

This year we welcomed over 4000 passengers (4193 to be exact!) on our public cruises and  it was a genuine delight to share this place we love with so many new friends.

This year also saw a new record in private charters – over 48 fun filled, private cruises left our dock to explore and celebrate.
 
We were deeply honoured to host your weddings, celebrations of life, anniversaries, birthdays, and family gatherings - each one unique, meaningful, and filled with the special moments that define and mark our journeys.

From laughter filled team celebrations to retirements, cruises for community organizations and fund raising for charities, the Norman Paul proudly carried you all.

This year also saw the beginning of larger commercial tour groups coming from our more urban centres – both Canadians and Visitors arriving to experience the beauty and magic of our less populated towns and regions.

We were honoured to host you all.

 Some of our favourite memories are the ones shared with the children on board — their happiness and pride donning the honourary captain’s hat and taking the wheel - their excitement spotting turtles, herons, beavers, and eagles – children’s faces never fail to remind us how magical our world truly is.

Our music cruises and talented artists filled the air with songs that drifted

 across the water.

Our drumming cruises with Algonquin women were powerful and grounding experiences, honouring the spirit of this land and water.

The rich stories of the river and our indigenous peoples – told with knowledge, passion and humour by author Rick Revelle - brought history to life.

As we settle into winter, we want to wish everyone a warm, joyful, peaceful season.

From our captains, crew and support sailors - thank you for choosing to spend part of your summer with us —

we trust you had as much fun as we did.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming you back next year for more sunshine, stories, music, and memories on the water.

 With gratitude,

Napanee River Tours
