Upcoming Solaris Tours

Join us this season on board Solaris, our 100% solar-powered tour boat and floating classroom, for one of over a dozen themed boat tours happening on the Rondout Creek and Hudson River. Our popular Rondout Lighthouse tours are back (Yes, you can go inside!), plus more fan favorites as well as some new ones. 2021 is shaping up to be a great season!

​All boat tour tickets include admission to the museum which is open Thursday-Sunday, 11 am to 5 pm.

Public Boat Tours

During COVID-19, passenger capacity is limited to 12. Private charters can accommodate up to 16 passengers.

The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located at 50 Rondout Landing, Kingston NY 12401. Please be sure when you arrive that you are boarding our tour boat, Solaris, and not another vessel docked along the Rondout Creek. Often, visitors can confuse Solaris with the vessel located next door, the Rip Van Winkle II. Solaris is operated by the Hudson River Maritime Museum whereas the Rip Van Winkle II is operated by Hudson River Cruises.

You can purchase tickets online or call 845-338-0071 to register by phone. Looking for book a private charter? Please fill out the form below by clicking on the "book a private charter" button.
