Private Cruises on the Branderbelle

Whether you are celebrating a birthday, hosting out-of-town visitors, or planning a unique evening with friends, a Branderbelle cruise offers a memorable experience on the water.
The Branderbelle is available from April 1 through October 31, seven days a week, by reservation and availability. Members must make reservations at least 7 business days in advance.
