Had company in from out of town and decided to take a ride on the Diamond Jack on a beautiful, sunny day! For the best seating, be sure to get to the dock early since it is first come, first served. Boat rides are an hour in length. The boats disembark at the foot of Cullen (formerly Rivard) Plaza. Snacks and drinks are sold on board.

The Diamond Jack provides a very nice and long cruise on the Detroit River! For $20 per adult, you get a comfortable two hour boat ride with lots of scenic views of Detroit, Belle Isle, and Windsor, Ontario, and a lot of interesting fun facts about all of the sights. There's also restrooms, concessions, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available on the boat as well to make your cruise more enjoyable. I really enjoyed my time aboard, but as much as i love boats two hours was a bit long. At the 1.5 hour mark i was ready to dock, and i think i wasn't the only one. However, i am never disappointed about getting my money's worth, which i indeed did.

My wife took an afternoon tour along the Detroit River for Father's Day. It was a very hot Sunday, so the idea of being on the water was appealing. We parked near the dock location on the street for free which was a bonus. A short walk down to the Riverfront and we were in line awaiting our turn to board. $20 each and we were on our way. No reservations necessary. They offered a limited bar and soft drinks plus snacks on the lower level. Up top was a spectacular view of the Detroit River, Windsor, Canada and Lake St. Claire. The tour lasted around 90 minutes and was very informative. Got to see a lot of landmarks and learn about their history. This is a great idea to visit downtown Detroit with a few friends who haven't been there lately. Follow it up with dinner in town and you have a great, affordable day in the city!

This was a wonderful find on a beautiful summer day. Boat ride explaining the history of detroit and canada as well. Very nicely maintained vessel with an awesome crew.

Diamond Jack offers a nice tour of the U.S. and Canadian sides of the Detroit River. We were fortunate to go on a beautiful day and had a wonderful tour which consisted of various sights up and down the river between the Ambassador Bridge and Lake Saint Clair.

Here's our wonderful vessel!

I was fortunate enough to experience this tour as part of a Google offsite, and had a terrific time. The tour takes you along the river around Belle Island, and the views are spectacular. Additionally, the drink selection is varied, which helps cater to a wide audience. A really cool part is that they have an aux cord available for tour playlists, which keeps the atmosphere lively. The staff is both considerate and optimistic, with many cracking jokes for our amusement. Overall, this is a great way to explore the river and bond with people (whether it be close friends or colleagues).

Attended a fundraiser on the boat. Nice cruise down the Detroit River. Parking is an issue as there is no close parking to the boat.

Nice but with one glaring issue. The downstairs speaker is shit so bad that you can't understand one word of the tour guide.

Have any of you ever had the catered food on the boat? Not the concessions, but dinner?

No meals. Just snacks and beverages.

Went on a cruise with this company and although it was a sponsered event, several things were very…read morewrong with this cruise. One they allowed smokers even though they sell liqour and beer and according to Michigan law it is illegal to do that. Secondly they were severing partons beer until they were so drunk they could barely stand to get off of the boat and were about to get into their cars. Talk about irresponsible bartending, I would would be a witness in the even one of those poeple injured or killed someone. God know what other safety violations they may have.....take your life in your own hands.

There are not many boat cruises available in this area, even though southeast Michigan is in part…read moreof the Great Lakes system. That said, I have taken rides with the Clinton River Cruise on several occasions. Each time was with a group reservation, with catered buffet. The cruises really never venture out into unprotected waters, they simply afford a comfortable ride from downtown Mount Clemens to the mouth of the Clinton River, with a turn around in Lake St. Clair and return. They always have adequate seating, refreshments available, an occasional live band. The atmosphere aboard is light and lively, but in my case, that also depended on the group I was with. During periods of foul weather, they have nice side curtains what allow great views in an enclosed ship. For a pleasant outdoor activity, I couldn't recommend this company more.
