Run by: Ride Solar

Ride Solar runs the only electric, solar-charged boat carrying passengers on Charlottetown Harbour, and the quiet shows: with no diesel drone underneath, the live band carries across the water instead of fighting it. The cruise lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and costs from $58.15 per person, with free cancellation included. Along with the music, the crew runs trivia rounds with prizes, and there are long stretches where the shoreline does the entertaining. The listing rates it 4.8 across 254 reviews, the largest review count of any harbour-and-water tour on Prince Edward Island. Food is optional rather than built in: book the ticket alone or add lunch or dinner, with chicken or lobster priced as an extra instead of folded into the fare. Toilets and WiFi are on board, and GST is already inside the ticket price. Travellers weighing this against the Harbour Hopper should know the Hopper spends part of its 55 minutes rolling through the streets, while this trip stays on the water the whole way. For evening light over a midday loop, Ride Solar also runs a two-hour sunset dinner cruise from $64.02 per person, rated 4.5 across 4 reviews.

Other Harbour And Water Tours Worth Comparing

55-Minute Harbour Hopper Tour

4.7 63 verified reviews

55 minutes · A bus that swims: 55 minutes across land and water · Ambassatours Gray Line

The Harbour Hopper starts on wheels and finishes in the water. It rolls through downtown Charlottetown first, passing the Confederation-era buildings near the waterfront, then drives down a ramp and floats, the same vehicle now a boat for the harbour leg. The full loop runs 55 minutes, short enough to pair with a walking tour or a food stop later the same day. Ambassatours Gray Line operates it, and the from-price is $53.14 per person. The listing shows a rating of 4.7 across 63 reviews. One caution: this is one of the few tours on Prince Edward Island with no free cancellation published, so read the terms on the live booking page before booking if your plans could still shift.

90-Minute Solar Dinner Cruise

4.4 15 verified reviews

1.5 hours · This 1.5-hour cruise leaves from Charlottetown's waterfront with live music on deck and dinner available if you want it. It holds a 4.4 rating from 15 reviews, and free cancellation applies.

Ninety minutes on the water off Charlottetown, with a live band playing and dinner available on board. The cruise is rated 4.4 across 15 reviews and costs from $56.83 per person. It suits travellers who want one booking to cover the evening: the meal, the entertainment and the harbour views arrive together rather than as separate stops on a downtown itinerary. Departures run from the Charlottetown waterfront, close enough to most downtown hotels that a car is unnecessary. Free cancellation is included, a useful safeguard given how quickly coastal weather can change. Among harbour-and-water tours in Charlottetown, this one stands apart by building the night around eating while the music plays, where the solar cruise from the same category leans more toward the cruise itself.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Live Music

4.5 4 verified reviews

2 hours · Two-hour solar sunset cruise from Charlottetown with live music and dinner. · Ride Solar

Ride Solar saves its best timing for last light. This 2-hour evening run out of Charlottetown harbour pairs dinner service with a live band, and the solar-powered vessel stays quiet between songs, which suits the calm of the water as the sun drops. The trip costs $64.02 per person and sits above the same operator's daytime sailing, which runs shorter and cheaper. Its rating stands at 4.5 from a small pool of 4 reviews so far, so the feedback is thin but positive. Free cancellation applies if your plans shift.
