About Us
The Kraken
The Kraken is a 40’ USCG Certified Commercial Passenger Vessel that can safely accommodate up to 35 passengers. She was originally built as a lifeboat for a cruise ship in the mid-1960’s and we received her from Lake Erie in 2022 making the Kraken more than safe for all of our guests and USCG Credentialed Crew!
Weather Permitting
The Kraken is exposed to the elements and due to this may not be appropriate during inclemate weather. In the case of a cancellation, a full refund will be provided in the form of a Gift Card that can be used for a future date.

The Motion of the Ocean
The Kraken is big enough to handle most group sizes and events, but small enough to access areas that bigger boats can’t reach or slip through. Our hull shape and displacement allows us to move as quickly as we want without disturbing other boaters and handles other boater’s wakes with ease making your trip smooth and relaxing.
