Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours

Step aboard Famous Soo Locks Boat Tours—the only locally owned and family operated tour boat in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan! Since 1959, our family has welcomed guests to experience the engineering marvels, history, and natural beauty of the world-famous Soo Locks.

On our narrated cruises, you’ll journey alongside 1,000-foot freighters, pass through the massive U.S. Locks, and see the Canadian Lock for a truly international adventure. Along the way, our expert narrators share fascinating stories about Great Lakes shipping, Native heritage, and the vital role the Soo Locks play as the “Lifeline of the Great Lakes.”

More than just the Locks, our tours showcase the St. Marys River, historic waterfronts, and the scenic Canadian shoreline. Daytime cruises highlight the power of modern shipping, while evening trips offer the magic of a Great Lakes sunset from the water.
