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 58 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 ($33) or braised 1/4 chicken ($23) with Caesar salad, jalapeno-infused pickled onions & fresh dinner roll or hotdog & popcorn ($9) or a large Caesar salad ($15) - just select your meal when booking your ticket. 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!
