Where would I be able to take a leisurely boat tour? We are staying at Cypresse Pointe, and would like to take a boat ride.
 
There's plenty of boating options, the best option is probably to go to the Poly or the GF and rent a pontoon boat or a Boston Whaler for an hour or two.

They also rent little mini speedboats that are a ton of fun to zip around on, but not leisurely!

For an upscale experience, the Grand Floridian has a 48 foot Sea Ray you can charter that comes complete with a captain and private chef, they will take you and your friends out for a private fireworks cruise and champagne dinner! (I saw this on the WDW Travel Channel special, looks really special!).

Here's a link to the WDW watercraft rental page... this was actually one of the funnest things we've ever done at WDW! (We did the mini-speedboats though...a little quicker than a pontoon boat!)

Assuming you're talking offsite....check the brochures they're sure to have in the CP lobby. Any offsite restaurant will also have a bunch.:cool2:
Boggy Creek place has a airboat nice ride. Also, do an internet search on Lake County Fl and click on the appropriate link. They list a bunch of places.....the Dora Canal trip thru Barts is a good one---I couldn't figure out how to get the link into this...
 

Don't know if this is what you had in mind - but inexpensive and very slow paced.
