Delaware River Cruises - Patriot Harbor Cruises! If you are looking for a narrated harbor tour, we have some great ones to offer! Whether you are a local Philadelphian who wants to go a few steps beyond the average Old City tour or if you are an international tourist that wants an overview of Philadelphia’s historic waterfront sites, we offer both! You can choose between a heavily narrated tour, a

lightly narrated tour or no narration at all. The City of Philadelphia, the fifth-largest city in the nation was settled in 1682 by English gentleman William Penn. As the capital of his new colony of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia quickly became the cultural, political, and financial center of the American colonies. The growth of the City was a result of its important port and waterfront industries that allowed it to become a gateway to the world. Many of our guests simply want to get away from the grind of the city and just relax out on the water. We offer pre-concert cruises, happy hour cruises and city light tours. And in 2013, there will be more than 25 evening firework events to enjoy. Schuylkill River Cruises - Discovery the Hidden River! Come aboard our vessel and experience a journey down the Schuylkill, seeing the world famous waterworks, the Art Museum, the Schuylkill Banks, Bartram Gardens, numerous bridges that link West Philadelphia with the rest of the City, Philadelphia’s City Lights, and many more attractions! Philadelphia's Hidden River was given the Dutch name Schuylkill by its European discoverer, Arendt Corssen of the Dutch West India Company. One explanation given for this name is that it translates to "hidden river" and refers to the river's merger with the Delaware River at League Island (the Navy Yard), which was nearly hidden by dense vegetation. Another explanation is that the name properly translates to "hideout creek.”

Time to dance, but it’s a wine cruise you say. Yes, it’s a wine cruise, but they always want to dance. It’s a very interesting phenomenon.

Fun night with return customers. Whether it’s 2024 or 2021 they always have a theme. It’s the perfect approach towards cruising. This year’s theme appeared to be “creative black tie.” And their biggest mistake? They let the boy’s come this time.

Did you know we have an Instagram page. If you want to see this video with audio go to @phillybyboat at Insta. Why Meta will not let us post our videos to Facebook from Instagram is beyond our simple brains.

Another sold out wine cruise in the books. Two birthday parties and a bachelorette party combined to take over the Patriot. We have our next wine cruise September 17th.

Lots going on at Penn’s Landing.

Lots of action Schuylkill Banks last night. Cruises, kayaking and movie night brings out the crowds. And across the river Cira Green it also looked busy.
