Cruise Departure & Return

Dock Location

We suggest arriving 15-25 minutes before your cruise.  This allows you enough time to find parking, get your bearings, and use the onshore facilities before boarding.

1 College St. Burlington, VT 05401
​This will take you to the ECHO Center for Lake Champlain.

Walk From Echo Center

Walk towards the front of the ECHO building. You will see a lakeside pavilion overlooking the marina.

Find the Gangway

Directly in front of the ECHO's pavilion, you will see a metal ramp leading down to the docks, there is a gate that says ‘A-Dock’.

Look For Our Ships!

Our ships are the first two that you'll see walking down this ramp. Look for Friend Ship and Wild Rose’s wooden masts. They are in slips 35 and 36. If you don't see our boats, we're out sailing!
