Get On Board Connecticut’s Taco and Tequila Riverboat Cruise

Trains and boats and tacos and tequila!? Where do I sign up!?

Thank the Agave Gods that I was turned on to this upcoming evening of music, good eats, train ride, and a party cruise on the Becky Thatcher riverboat set for Wednesday, July 24.

Your evening itinerary begins with a train ride aboard the historic 1892 Essex Station beginning at 6 p.m. Your destination is the Deep River Station where the Becky Thatcher awaits your arrival.

Your relaxing Taco & Tequila cruise on the multi-level riverboat will be a two-hour voyage along the Connecticut River where you'll be treated to a signature margarita along with a taco bar where you can concoct your very own unique taco.

A live Latin band called Goza will provide the tunes for listening or dancing as you sit back and relax and enjoy tacos, tequila, and tunes on a gorgeous summer evening. If you're interested, don't procrastinate because the Taco & Tequila cruise sells out quickly. Visit the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat website for all the info.
