Overview

Be an “eco-tourist” and embark on a 1.5 hour afternoon cruise of the Charlottetown Harbour! Our 34 passenger solar-electric vessel is complete with kitchen, booth seating, WiFi, licensed bar and lavatory. The last remaining boat from the famous 1967 Montreal Expo, this 57 yr old Canadian Heritage Vessel underwent an 8 yr rebuild to become North America’s LARGEST solar boat.​

Not just a tour, your Ride Solar experience can also include fresh PEI Lobster or chicken with Caesar salad (house-made dressing) jalapeno-infused pickled onions &/or Island Blue mussels & dinner roll (optional at checkout online) and a variety of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks are always available for purchase right on board. Tours are better with food & drink, no noise & no diesel smell!
