CRE is in business to provide the general public access to the lower Connecticut River and to educate all passengers on the ecology and beauty of the lower Connecticut River while cruising aboard CRE's vessel, RiverQuest

Mark and Mindy (aka, Mork and Mindy), the owners of RiverQuest, were both raised in Old Lyme, a town located across the river from Essex. They have been cruising on the lower Connecticut River and Long Island Sound in various vessels since childhood and are very knowledgeable on the history, ecology and local wildlife that abound on the lower Connecticut River.

Captain: Captain Mark (Mork) has many years of experience as a Captain on the lower Connecticut River and has a 100 Ton Masters License issued by the United States Coast Guard.

Crew: Our current weekday and sometimes weekend crew is Bill Yule. Bill is known as one of the best naturalists in Connecticut and is extremely knowledgeable on the river's natural history, flora and fauna. When Bill is not crew on RiverQuest, he is working at the Connecticut River Museum. Mindy is usually the weekend crew.
