Saskatoon's riverboats since 1996 !

Peter and Valerie Kingsmill started offering boat tours for birdwatchers at Redberry Lake in 1989, where for several years the tours were operated in partnership with The Redberry Pelican Project. In 1996 Peter teamed up with two other Saskatchewan tourism professionals and started Shearwater Properties Ltd., the company that designed, built and operated the Saskatoon Lady on the river in Saskatoon from 1996 through 2002. 

Peter and Valerie bought controlling interest in the company in 2002, purchasing and re-fitting the passenger motor vessel now named Saskatoon Princess (originally named the Queen of Ottawa plying the Rideau Canal in downtown Ottawa). In 2007, the company also purchased the former Lady Chesley from a company in Manitoba, re-named her the Meewasin Queen and put her into service in the spring of 2008. The Meewasin Queen handles most of the daily scheduled cruises. while the Saskatoon Princess is our flagship - and our dinner boat!
