Lake Burley Griffin Cruises is a small tour business, operated in partnership by owners Jim and Virginia Paterson.

Our aim “To provide a memorable experience and engender a positive image of the Nation’s Capital".

We commenced operating in January 2003 as Canberra Electracruise with the replica Edwardian style Electric Launch "Cygnet" the first all electric commercial vessel on Lake Burley Griffin, which we converted from the Steam Launch ‘Jenny’.

In June 2003 we chose to identify more closely with our principal area of operation and became Lake Burley Griffin cruises.

The MV. “Darter” was added to the fleet in September 2006 to improve the passenger carrying capacity and to further enhance the range of services we are able to offer.

In 2007 and 2009 we received recognition for our services to tourism with a commendation in the ACT and Region Tourism Awards. We are still the only local cruise operator to have achieved even that level of recognition for our services to tourism.

Also in 2009 we were awarded an "outstanding visitor experience" in the ACT and Region Tourism Awards.

In 2009 we were chosen to appear on Getaway the TV travel program on Channel 9.

October 2009 we added another vessel to our fleet the MV “Gull” further increasing our capacity and the range of services we are able to provide.

We are constantly seeking to improve the range and quality of services that we provide.
