Rusty's Red Wing River Rides

Welcome Aboard

Rusty's Red Wing River Rides is an ideal way to take a day cruise on the Mississippi river. Sight-Sea-ER II departs daily from the historic river town of Red Wing, Minnesota on a variety of public excursions that begin in mid-April and run through October.

Sight-Sea-ER II is also available for private charters. Celebrate a special birthday, anniversary, graduation, even a wedding on the Mississippi. The boat carries up to 37 passengers, so it's a great way to take both family and friends out for a scenic, relaxing cruise.

All of the sightseeing cruises are fully narrated and the boat is staffed with a fully licensed captain and crew. Snacks and beverages are available for sale for $1 or less. Please, no outside food or beverages.
