the PREMIER charter service in the Pelee Passage

WARUWANAGO (where-u-wana-go) Boat Charters is the PREMIER charter service in Pelee Passage for scuba divers. Waruwanago Boat Charters has been providing diving charters in the waters of Pelee Passage for nearly a decade. To ensure your safety, satisfaction and enjoyment, there is an Instructor or Dive Master onboard every charter. Our crew loves to dive, so if a guide or buddy is needed, they are more than happy to help. Morning, afternoon and night charters are available every weekend. Mid week charters may be scheduled upon request. To compliment the fantastic diving, we offer dock/beach side picnics, treasure hunts, post-dive lunches on Pelee Island and sunset cruises along our beautiful shoreline of Point Pelee National Park. These activities may be enjoyed by non-diving friends and family.
