About Us

Enjoy the most spectacular view in Tobermory from the Bruce Anchor Motel’s “sunset deck”.  Our deck overlooks Georgian Bay and the entrance to Big Tub Harbour. In addition to the sunsets, guests will have the pleasure of viewing the Chi-Cheemaun, a ferry that transports vehicles and people to Manitoulin Island.  The ChiCheemaun docks very close to our location.  In fact, it backs out of it’s dock and turns broadside almost directly in front of the sunset deck during each of its daily trips back and forth to Manitoulin Island.  Furthermore, a wide variety of watercraft traverse these waters, and the islands make a rugged backdrop to the watery vista.

BRUCE ANCHOR CRUISES – ABOUT US

Bruce Anchor Cruises operates within Fathom Five National Marine Park which occupies some of the most pristine waters in the Great Lakes. Fathom Five is home to numerous historic light stations, over twenty known shipwrecks, and Flowerpot Island.

Our extremely unique and modern glass bottom vessels depart Tobermory on a regular schedule.  Our tours operate during the spring, summer, and fall! Within 5 minutes of departing our dock passengers are given an opportunity to view two 19th century shipwrecks, The Sweepstakes and The City of Grand Rapids, resting just a few feet below the surface. Following the shipwreck viewing, we pass by Big Tub Light House (1885).  From there we continue on our way to Flowerpot Island. As we cruise around Flowerpot Island passengers will view magical scenery.  This scenery includes the historic Flowerpot Light station, the light keeper’s homes, the Flowerpot rock formations and more. If you are planning to hike the island, we dock at Beachy Cove to allow passengers to disembark and explore the island on foot for a couple of hours. The return trip from Flowerpot Island to our dock in Tobermory is about 15 minutes.
