About Collingwood Charters
Collingwood Charters operates scenic boat tours and cruises from Collingwood's historic harbour, departing from the very spot where lake freighters were once side-launched during the town's shipbuilding heyday. The company gives visitors a water-level perspective on Georgian Bay's shoreline, islands, and maritime history.
Its cruises take in local landmarks including the iconic Collingwood Terminals grain elevator, lighthouses, and the sheltered waters around Hen and Chicken Island, with sightseeing, sunset, and private group charter options available through the May-to-October season. Trips are relaxed and narrated, blending easy scenery with stories of the area's rich Great Lakes shipping past. Comfortable seating and room for larger groups make it a natural choice for families, celebrations, and corporate outings looking to get out on the bay without operating a boat themselves.
Docked in the reimagined Collingwood Harbour Lands, Collingwood Charters offers a low-key, accessible way to experience Georgian Bay that complements the region's more active adventures. For visitors who want the views and the history without the paddling or the fishing rods, it is one of the most established tour boat operators in the harbour.
