Things to Do in Dubuque

With cruises and rentals from Dubuque’s American Lady Yacht Cruises, you can set sail along the Mississippi River either as a relaxed passenger or an adventuresome captain. Aboard the $1 million American Lady yacht, passengers roam the vessel's two stories, slipping into the climate-controlled interior salons or enjoying the river breeze on the open bow and upper deck. The yacht has hosted weddings and corporate events, and it regularly departs on happy hour and sunset dinner cruises that treat passengers to fresh air, panoramic views, drinks, and refreshments from the ship’s caterer, Catfish Charlie’s River Club.

Sylvan 21- and 24-foot pontoon boats are also in the company's fleet. Rental options include half-day, full-day, and overnight charters, allowing for short, breezy jaunts down the river or full-scale reenactments of Huckleberry Finn.
