The Historic
U.S. Mailboat
We are hoping to offer public Mailboat cruises this summer!
We haven't finalized the 2026 mailboat cruise schedule yet, as we are still waiting for the new boat's arrival and for all New York State safety requirements to be finalized.
We will make an announcement as soon as we are confident about availability for this season.
