OUR MOST POPULAR CRUISES

ABOUT US

In 1971, the Hayhurst family had a vision as big as Lake Erie itself. They bought a small passenger boat, christened her the Miss Buffalo, and set sail on what would become Buffalo’s most beloved waterborne tradition.

For over 50 years, they’ve been your front-row seat to Buffalo’s remarkable transformation. From the working waterfront of yesterday to the vibrant shoreline of today, they’ve witnessed it all—and shared it with families, couples, friends, and explorers just like you.

Every cruise is a story. Every sunset is a memory. Every wave brings you closer to the heart of Buffalo.

Welcome aboard. Your story starts here!

CRUISE THROUGH OUR FIVE-STAR REVIEWS

Miss Buffalo boat tour

Miss Buffalo is a boat ride for the entire family. We enjoyed the cruise especially the narrator. We learned a lot of the history of Buffalo and saw some amazing sights! We would recommend this cruise for anyone that would love to see the gorgeous Buffalo Harbor!

Very Informative!

We had a very large group for a high school reunion, many were from out of town. Everyone really thought this was a great idea to get everyone outside in the nature to see our beautiful city from the water view and how it has evolved. We learned a lot from the tour guide.

Great time

Lovely cruise on Black Rock River and Buffalo Harbor. Ample seating and nearly full. Enjoyed several beverages and was very happy they didn't rip me off on the prices of drinks and snacks. Traveled w/ my wife and 2 grand kids. Very nice!

Miss Buffalo Cruise

We had several friends with us and everyone had a good time. The tour director and staff were friendly and informative. We would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone as there is ample seating, tables if you wish, beverages (well drinks also) and shade if you prefer.

Thumbs-up from a Buffalo native!

I've been on the tour a few times over the years and it never gets old. The views were wonderful and the tour guide combined interesting information about the city's history, local nature/species, new shoreline development and more in his talk.

This is my review

The trip was simply terrific. The narrator, Marla, was clearly a proud "Buffalonian". Her facts mixed with humor was wonderful. The boat as clean and the staff very friendly. The bartender was a friendly young man that was very focused on quick service. Truly loved our relaxing trip on your fine vessel. Just the right length of time for an afternoon cruise.
