1000 Islands Rockport Cruises

Some wedding venues give couples a view of the water.

Rockport Cruises puts the celebration directly onto it.

Departing from the historic village of Rockport in the heart of the 1000 Islands, the company offers private boat charters specifically for weddings and other special occasions.

Couples and guests can board a double-decker vessel and watch the St. Lawrence River move around them as the celebration travels between islands, waterfront estates and some of the region's most recognizable scenery.

Indoor salon areas provide shelter and comfort while open-air decks keep the river close throughout the experience.

Licensed bar service is available aboard the boats, allowing cocktails and toasts to become part of the cruise itself.

For a more intimate dinner-focused celebration, the waterfront restaurant and inn provide additional possibilities back on shore.

The experience feels particularly magical around sunset.

The islands begin to darken, the river catches the remaining light and guests can move between the indoor and outdoor decks while the entire backdrop quietly changes around them.

A wedding here does not simply happen in the 1000 Islands.

It moves through them.
