Niagara River and Secret local Beach
$1300
Duration 5 hours
Departure time 11:00 am - 4pm
Let us take you on an experience like no other. Meet at the dock (St. Catharines Marina, Port Weller) and relax in our living room like setting where you will meet Captain Angela and First Mate Amber of Persephone.
We will board the boat and have our safety meeting and get to know the location of amenities on board Persephone. Then we relax with a drink of choice as we get underway. We will travel 15 kms to the mouth of the Niagara river where it comes out to Lake Ontario then head up stream as far as we can safely, due to rapids and currents (10kms). There we can see the Lewiston bridge and, Sir Isaac Brock’s monument in Queenston Heights. This is where we feel the strength and current of the river as if flows to Lake Ontario. We will then float out of the river using only the power of the water.
Our next leg will take us to a local beach complete with water toys, SUP (paddleboards), swimming and a buffet of snacks, beverages and salads. You are welcome to head to shore and go exploring at this time. PFDs must be worn if heading to shore. Safety is our main priority for all ur guests.
After we dry off a bit we will head to open water for some fun and Captain Angela will show you what Persephone, a Monterey 270 sport cruiser is made of. How easily it cuts through the chop and handles. No you cannot drive the boat but she is there for any questions you may have.
We will then return to dock for disembarking. You are welcome to relax back at the dock in the comfy chairs before you head out to your next adventure. We look forward to having you on board creating the best memories.

Port Dalhousie Beach, Water Toys and Shipwreck
$1300
Duration 4 hours
Departure time 11:00 am - 3pm
This one is for the young at heart and having some fun! Meet at the dock (St. Catharines Marina, Port Weller) and relax in our outdoor living room like setting where you will be able to meet Captain Angela and First Mate Amber of Persephone. We will board the boat and have our safety meeting and get to know the location of amenities on board Persephone. Then we relax with a drink of choice as we get underway. In this experience we head west (7kms) to Port Dalhousie Beach crossing the shipping lanes of the Welland Canal where we bust out some water toys, SUP (paddleboards), and swimming. This is a great time to listen to some beats, relax and enjoy the water, snacks, salads and beverages to keep everyone hydrated. You are welcome to head to shore and go exploring at this time. PDFs must be worn if heading to shore. Safety is our main priority for all your guests. Once we dry off a bit we head to Jordan Harbour, to view the rusting shipwreck which closely resembles a pirate ship. It only floats a few meters off the shoreline measuring 40 metres (140feet). It’s a life-sized replica of the three-masted sailing vessel explorer Jacque Cartier travelled in the 1500s. After that, we hit the open water for some fun and Captain Angela will show you what Persephone, a Monterey 270 sport cruiser is made of. How easily it cuts through the chop and handles. Again, no you cannot drive the boat but she is there for any questions you may have. We will then return to dock for disembarking. You are welcome to relax back at the dock in the comfy chairs before you head out to your next adventure. We look forward to having you on board creating the best memories.

Our Story
Captain Angela
I’ve loved being on the water since I was young. I spent my summer days in our pool and as I got older I spent alot of time driving on seadoos which developed my love of boats. I’ve travelled many of the Greek islands by water and have always been drawn to the helm to meet the Captains and learn all I could about the maritime industry. I purchased my first boat, a brand new 17ft Bayliner bowrider in 2016 that i enjoyed using on Lake Ontario cruising and tubing with my family and friends. Then I purchased my 27 Ft Doral Sport Cruiser during COVID which is when I realized I wanted to create these memorable experiences on the water for as many people as I can so I decided to pursue my dream of owning and chartering a Monterey Cruiser boat. I travel often to Fort Lauderdale, the yachting capital of the world to continue my Captains training at Maritime Professional Training. I also work with the Toronto Island Marina driving their Tender boats across to the Toronto Harbour alongside several Canadian Coast Guard Captains as part of my training. Having completed my US Coast Guard 100ton Masters course and receiving my ASA 101 ,103, 104 and 114 Sailing and Catamaran certifications has given me the opportunity to provide guests with safe and exciting boat experiences
First Mate/Skipper Amber
I have always been drawn to boating and water of any kind. I sailed Lake Erie as a kid with my father learning everything I could learn from him. I was top on my swim team earning medals and ribbons. I joined naval cadets for four years, earning petty officer first class, learning knots and how to be an officer of four younger cadets. I have since travelled the world taking tons of boat tours including scuba diving shipwrecks, snorkelling and catching my own lobster in Aruba, swimming with sharks and stingrays in Belize. One of my favourite memories was white water rafting in Fernie in class five rapids for the run off. I also enjoy paddle boarding, canoeing and ocean kayaking.
I chartered the Harbour Queen, a sternwheeler in the Halifax Harbour and had party events for 14 years for the Maritime Tattoo Festival. Bringing 200 people aboard for a three hour tour to celebrate our last night of the festival, complete with live music and catering.
I decided it was time to really learn to sail in 2020 and had an opportunity to race on Wednesday nights at the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron in Halifax. I learned a lot aboard the highlander, a 33’ Dehler db1 q986 regatta yacht, helping with main sails and doing the runners in fleet B. Flying the spinnaker sail is always awesome trying to keep the sail full downwind.
I am very excited to share my knowledge and show people the Niagara river where I grew up. The majestic current and lake effects it brings being between the shallow Lake Erie and running into Lake Ontario.

Meet Our Vessel - Persephone
LUXURY AFLOAT
The Monterey 270 Sport Cruiser is Powered by an 8.1L Volvo Penta 375hp engine that cuts through waves like butter for a smooth glide on the water.
She has a stainless-steel swim ladder and large swim platform for easy access to swimming or just sitting on with your feet dipped to enjoy the beautiful view. There is a convenient hot/cold transom shower to rinse off after a day of enjoying the lake. This is where we put out the toys for your entertainment. Complete with two paddle boards, float-eh mat and some tubes.
The cockpit plays into the hands of the entertainer, where you can enjoy a beautiful setting for cocktails and snacks enjoying the view.
The surrounding seating can also convert to loungers if you're feeling like a siesta is in order. Full canopy for some shade in the hot sun or rain (also includes heat if needed).
A portside amenities centre (wet bar) is traced by a decent stainless-steel grabrail and graced with a sink, dry ice box for holding a bottle of wine or a few beers.
Up front, there's an opening windscreen with a walkthrough dash for a safe route to the bow. The non-skid foredeck is where a drink and some sunbathing is in order and if deep enough you’re welcome to jump off.
A convenient Vacuflush head (washroom) is always available, no need to pee in the lake 😂
Drinks and coffee/ tea is always available. Also space below deck to safely store your personal belongings for our trip out.
And of course a great sound system for awesome beats or take over our Bluetooth if you feel like you want to DJ yourself. But music may be a thing for us and we love creating a vibe to remember. Name a genre and we have it!
