Enjoy our Popular, Family-Oriented Christmas Light Canal Cruise!
Christmas Canal Cruises have been a tradition in Punta Gorda for 50 years!
These popular, family-oriented one-hour 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.

You are booking Christmas Light Canal Cruise tickets for a specific boat – the “Helen M”. We use several different boats for these tours. 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.
Our sightseeing cruise boats are 55’ – 65’ double-deck custom built excursion vessels that were designed to cruise our waters. The lower deck is an enclosed cabin with walls, doors, and windows. The top deck has hard cover overhead and open sides.
- The boat has bathrooms.
- We offer for purchase: cocktails, beer, wine, soda, water, and coffee, along with snacks such as chips, crackers, and cookies
- Alcohol may not be brought aboard
- Please let us know at the time of reservation if you have any special mobility requirements so we can properly prepare for your arrival and ensure a smooth boarding process. See info about accessibility here.
