excursion boat

Sightseeing water craft

An excursion boat is a vessel designed for short pleasure trips rather than transportation between destinations.

Excursion boats carry passengers on sightseeing cruises, dinner cruises, or tours of harbors, rivers, and coastlines: We took an excursion boat around the bay.

The trips are typically a few hours, with the boat returning to its point of departure.
