Tour the riverfront in luxury and eco-style aboard Detroit's only zero-emissions power boat rental
Why tour the Detroit River aboard a zero-emissions power boat rental? Luxury, comfort, conscience.

The Sycorax proudly offers the only 100% electric boat cruises in Southeast Michigan. Our daily luxury cruises voyage over the Detroit River and Lake St Clair from May through September. On the Sycorax, you get all of the joy and none of the guilt of pleasure cruising. No polluting gas fumes. No noise. Just you and the natural beauty of the Great Lakes.
The Swedish boat manufacturer, X Shore, has won multiple awards for design and innovation, including the German Design Award Gold (2022), the European Power Boat of the Year (2022), and the CICERO Shades of Green AS Dark Green rating (the highest rating).
Gas-powered boats are bad — like, really bad — for the environment. Did you know that a five-hour cruise on a standard yacht burns as much gas as a car would consume driving from New York to L.A.? By choosing an electric cruise, you're eliminating all that environmental waste. That's the equivalent of planting six trees per four-hour cruise aboard the Sycorax.
And we've taken the guesswork out of booking a private boat charter. Our No-BS promise to you: one price only. Unlike most charters, we bill no fuel surcharge, no captain's fee or insurance, no separate taxes, and we accept no gratuities. One and done.
Cruises depart from Stanton Yards near downtown Detroit, directly across from Belle Isle, in the nationally acclaimed emerging neighborhood Little Village.
