GLORY is SOLAR POWERED! With the assistance of Eastern Energy Systems and the science class at Riverhead High School, under the guidance of Robert Jester, GLORY went Solar and became the first Coast Guard inspected tour boat in the United States operating with solar power. Solar cells were placed on the roof at Preston's and these solar cells charge GLORY's batteries. We have eliminated our carbon footprint, demonstrating the value of solar power in a meaningful way.
GLORY, an environmentally-friendly vessel, has delighted adults and children alike with whisper-quiet and fume-free tours of the nooks and crannies of the Peconic Bay since 1999. GLORY takes visitors back to a bygone era with its classic lines and elegant mahogany and gold-plated trim as it glides along the bay.
Back due to popular demand are four distinct tours where you can experience the depth and richness of the bay with a different perspective each time. Click on the tabs above for descriptions of each. (Please note all tours are subject to weather and sea conditions.)
Think about us too, for your special charters. What could be more romantic than a private sunset cruise to pop the question or to say I do? Or to say goodbye to a departed loved one. See SPECIAL CHARTERS for more details and group rates for private or corporate events
Note: GLORY is proud to have maintained the same prices since we began operating in 1999. "It's the best boating for the bucks!"
