Boat Cruise - North Shore to Death’s Door Crossing
Overview
Our journey starts with a leisurely cruise along the north shore of Sister Bay, where you’ll witness some of the best man-made beauty this county has to offer. As we approach the towering bluffs of Ellison Bay Bluff Park, keep an eye out for Wisconsin’s largest private home along the bayside bluffs, and the County Park’s famous lookout!
As we continue north towards Door Bluff Headland Park and into Gills Rock, we’ll share captivating stories of Northern Door County’s rich commercial fishing heritage, tales of the Lake’s historical shipwrecks, and even the fascinating story of a historic Death’s Door battle.
Weather permitting, we’ll get you up close to Plum Island Lighthouse and maybe even catch a glimpse of the old Coast Guard station!

My wife and I booked the tour online. Our first tour and we did not know traffic conditioned around Door county in Labor Day weekend. We were driving from IL to WI and around Milwaukee there was construction, slowed is down and huge traffic around Bailey's Harbor and Sister bay made us almost stop and go. I called, Board tour company representative Carol heard me, called the captain to wait for us and worked with me to find a parking spot. We were late by 5-7 minutes but they worked with us and got is on to the boat. Great service. The boat was in great condition with working clean restrooms. The commentary was awesome. I only have one small suggestion is to improve audio on the lower deck. Upper deck is fine. In general Door County is doing awesome job for good roads, free parking everywhere, and tourist information. Everyone seems to be helpful and ready to say, "What can I do!".
