Step aboard the Krista Mari, a 26′ Steigercraft Miami with Captain Jim, for a private 2-hour cruise along Bass River. (We also offer extended 4, 6, and 8 hour cruises) Departing from Bass River Marina, this exclusive experience is perfect for up to 6 guests looking to explore Cape Cod’s most scenic tidal river at their own pace. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a family outing, or just seeking a peaceful escape, this cruise offers a unique way to experience the beauty of Bass River. Departure time is programmed for 4 pm, but we can make arrangements to adjust a better departure time for you if needed. 

Your Private River Cruise Includes:
Breathtaking Scenery – Glide past historic boathouses, charming waterfront homes, and serene salt marshes.
Wildlife Watching – Spot ospreys, herons, and even seals in their natural habitat.
Comfortable & Smooth Ride – The Krista Mari is a well-appointed vessel designed for a relaxing journey.
Cooler & Ice Provided – Bring your favorite snacks and beverages to enjoy on board.  We discourage glass on the boat. 
Customizable Experience – Whether you want a leisurely sightseeing tour or a more interactive, narrated experience, we’ll tailor the cruise to your preferences.
Perfect for Any Occasion
Bridesmaid Parties – Celebrate with a private, scenic cruise before the big day.
Family Adventures – A great activity for kids and adults alike!
Romantic Outings – Enjoy a peaceful, intimate cruise with your partner.
Friend Getaways – Relax, unwind, and make memories with your closest friends.

The captain, Jim Egan, specializes in boat cruising, sightseeing, fishing, and eco-tours.  See our other cruises out on the ocean to islands, harbors, and wildlife refuge areas.

Once onboard, you'll have everything you need for a trip to remember, including an aft sundeck and a toilet below for privacy. Alcohol is allowed on board, BYOB. 
You will also find all the necessary safety features onboard.
