Chas | They can discribe it much better than I here is their website http://www.scottishstudies.com/
This is the first paragraph from the front page which explains it rather well.
The Scottish Studies Foundation is a Canadian charitable organization established to encourage research, both inside and outside universities, in Scottish culture -- history, literature, religion, art, law, and in Scottish migrations to North America; and to publish historical studies and documents relating to Scottish culture and migrations.
Basically the boat cruise is to raise money.
