Events Calendar

See Burlington from the water.

Set sail with Whistling Man Schooner Co. for a two-hour cruise across Lake Champlain departing just a five minute walk from Hotel Champlain. Each trip is led by a licensed captain and deckhand, and offers a new perspective on Burlington, the Adirondacks and the surrounding shoreline.

Choose from daytime and sunset departures aboard Whistling Man’s classic fleet. Public cruises offer an intimate shared experience, while private charters give your group the boat to itself. No sailing experience is necessary. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks aboard.
