We are pleased to announce the return of our Sunday worship services on the boat. ✝️There’s nothing like prayer together in the midst of the beauty and serenity of the river. ☀️ Each week, a different church/faith leader leads the worship.

The boat departs the dock at 10 am on Sundays and returns in approximately an hour. The worship service has no cost. A free will offering is taken, with funds collected to be divided between the nonprofit running the boat and HELP Ministries, which provides emergency food assistance to the most critically needy among us.

Here is the list of services scheduled. Please keep checking our page or website for any changes or updates.

Hope you can join us this Sunday and every Sunday!

Captain Ray Peske, a veteran of the U.S. Navy, has been piloting our boat from Day One. That's 38 years of sightseeing, and sunsets. He says he sees something new on every cruise, and no two sunsets are the same. This sunset was captured on our second Veterans cruise on Memorial Day 2026; we'd love to see these rays of hope at the end of every day.
