Christmas Light Canal Cruise
A Punta Gorda Tradition for 50 years
Reservations for December 2024 now open!
These popular, family-oriented cruises tour the residential canals in Punta Gorda to view Christmas lights, displays and decorations on homes, boats, seawalls and docks. Boats of all shapes and sizes cruise the canals during the evenings in December to enjoy this warm display of community Christmas spirit.
Trips sell out quickly, so advance reservations are a must!
We use multiple boats for these trips. You will be booking for a specific boat. If another party will be making a reservation separately and you would like to be on the same boat, please ensure they select the same boat at time of reservation.
