carillon cruises

Relaxing, fun and very informative way to see this end of Lake Champlain - refresh your history knowledge (or learn it in the first place?) of the importance that Fort Ticonderoga played to our country in so many wars. Cruising past Fort Ticonderoga, getting very close, was fabulous. We learned about the history of the lake itself and it's impact on the development of the area, and through the boat's underwater sonar, saw many underground shipwrecks. The onboard speakers are very crisp, allowing you to hear without struggle, what the captain and his wife are saying. (I've been on tours where the onboard sound system is awful and you miss half of what is being said, but not so at all on Carillon!) The captain and his wife take turns telling humorous stories and anecdotes, historical background info, discourse on the flora and fauna. We saw some young bald eagles as we sailed along. We highly recommend this cruise. It is very reasonably priced and the captain and his wife are not only very nice, but are clearly passionate about what they do - highly recommend!

Enjoyable, informative guide to the history of the area.Perhaps a little US biased ;)An ideal way to travel and understand the military and logistical importance of Lake Champlain.

Thanks for the review. Rene and I both remember fondly the kids fishing. Worms were in short supply that day or we may have been fishing much longer.

Thanks for the review. The private cruises are always special as everyone is primed for a good time before they even board the Carillon and we are proud that you selected us for your cruise.

Thanks for the review. The day you cruised with us was certainly a full cruise. One never knows how many passengers show up on a given day. But we will take them out regardless if there are one or forty nine. After all it is our passion and if a passenger traveled to see us, we will accommodate them.
