Board the 1908 steamboat Sabino for a unique ride along the waterfront of Mystic Seaport Museum or enjoy a downriver cruise. Two diesel electric generators were recently added to the historic steam plant. Come enjoy a silent, peaceful ride and see the sites along the Mystic River. Bring your family and friends along for a pre-dinner cruise, or purchase a drink and snack on the dock before boarding. Tickets are sold at the Waterfront Tours Ticket Booth with the exception of the 5:30 p.m. trip, which is sold from downtown. Sabino departs and returns to downtown for this 120-minute trip. You may also call ahead to book the downriver trips.
