WORLD CLASS SINCE 1886!

We are thrilled to present our exciting plans for the 2011 sailing season! For the young at heart, the Pirate Cruises and Captain Corbin are rumored to be back on Sunday mornings along with his swashbuckling crew to "take" Wenonah and torment the shores of Lake Muskoka. Now in the 2nd year, the ever-popular Noah's Ark Cruises return on Wednesday mornings. Hosted by the critters of Muskoka Wildlife Centre, this is an educational and entertaining cruise featuring Ontario's native mammals, birds and reptiles right on board Wenonah II!

The fabulous Cottage Cruises return with two spectacular properties to view on July 18th and August 29th. Imagine ... docking at one of Muskoka's palatial summer homes for your own personal tour of the manicured grounds and luxuriously appointed cottage interiors.

New for 2011, Wenonah II will be featuring cruises departing from the JW Marriott on Lake Rosseau. Enjoy a Lake Rosseau cocktail cruise on Thursday evenings and a cruise to the Village of Rosseau Farmer's Markets on Fridays. Spectacular scenery!

Thursdays during the summer will also boast a cruise on Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph featuring lunch served at Delta Sherwood Inn. Departing from Port Carling, Wenonah sails through the Port Sandfield Swing bridge before docking at this quaint Muskoka resort.

For information, please give our ticket office a call at 1-866-687-6667
