Fall in Connecticut is a magical time, as the state transforms into a breathtaking canvas of vibrant reds, oranges, and golds.
It’s the perfect time to take a long drive or go for a walk, but if you’re looking for a way to really take your fall foliage experience to the next level, there’s no better option than an intimate cruise along the Connecticut River aboard the R/V KEEPER.
Offered by Connecticut River Expeditions, this unique fall foliage private cruise experience lets you and your group of up to six people witness some of the state’s most breathtaking autumn scenery from the serene waters of the river.
This is a must-do fall adventure.
Why Connecticut’s Fall Foliage is a Must-See
Each year, Connecticut draws visitors from all over to experience its renowned fall foliage.
From its rolling hills to the majestic Connecticut River, the explosion of colors paints the landscape in a way that has to be seen to be believed.
The Connecticut River Valley, in particular, is one of the top spots for leaf-peeping, and viewing the foliage from the water offers an entirely new perspective. The quiet surroundings of the river, the cool crisp air, and the reflection of the foliage on the water combine for a one-of-a-kind autumn experience.
A Unique Way to See Fall Foliage – The R/V KEEPER Experience
While you can drive through the backroads of Connecticut or hike its trails to enjoy the fall colors, a private cruise on the R/V KEEPER takes your autumn adventure to another level.
As you float along the Connecticut River, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the vibrant foliage covering the surrounding hills.
This peaceful, two-hour cruise offers a leisurely pace, allowing you to fully soak in the changing leaves and natural beauty.
In addition to witnessing beautiful foliage, you’ll also be treated to sightings of local wildlife, such as Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, and Ospreys.
The KEEPER, with its shallow draft, can quietly cruise close to shore, offering incredible opportunities for birdwatchers and photographers to capture the perfect shot.
Custom Cruises to Fit Your Perfect Fall Day
One of the best parts of booking a private cruise on the R/V KEEPER is the ability to customize your trip.
Whether you want to head north and explore state parks, or cruise south towards Essex Harbor, you can choose the route that interests you most.
Fancy a longer trip? You can extend your time on the water for an even more immersive experience, exploring the Connecticut River at your own pace.
For a truly special experience, don’t miss out on the Selden Island Circumnavigation. This peaceful journey around Selden Island State Park takes you through secluded creeks and hidden gems that are best experienced from the water.
The calm and quiet surroundings offer a sense of serenity that perfectly complements the fall season.
Full Moon Cruises – A Magical Fall Evening on the Water
Looking for a romantic or truly unique fall evening?
The Full Moon Cruises aboard the KEEPER are an absolute must. Picture this: you’re drifting along the river, the full Hunter’s Moon shining brightly above, and the autumn foliage glowing softly in the moonlight.
These two-hour cruises are the perfect way to cap off a fall day in Connecticut, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying the company of loved ones.
With only one October date left for booking, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.
Comfortable, Intimate, and Scenic
The KEEPER isn’t your average boat. It’s a modern 32-foot vessel designed specifically for private cruises.
Built locally at Chester Boat Works in 2022, the KEEPER has plenty of space to move around and is equipped with a comfy cabin and restroom facilities.
With room for up to six passengers, this is the perfect outing for families, friends, or couples looking for an intimate, crowd-free way to enjoy the fall.
You’re encouraged to bring your own food and beverages, allowing you to enjoy a picnic on board as you take in the stunning surroundings. Whether you’re sipping hot cider or sharing a charcuterie board, you can make the experience truly your own.
