Champlain Canal Tour Boats, LLC offers many tours to choose from. We provide three regular excursions with our smaller boat, the M/V SADIE, as well as four regular cruises with our pride and joy, the M/V CALDWELL BELLE, rain or shine. There are also Special Events scheduled throughout the 2008 Sailing Season.
