Get an up close and in depth look at Galveston Harbour, and maybe spot a friendly water-dwelling mammal or 2, on the Historic Harbor Tour & Dolphin Watch in Galveston.
From aboard the Seagull II, Texas Seaport Museum’s 50-foot, twin engine motor vessel, the Galveston Historical Foundation presents daily cruises for passengers of all ages. The tour guides riders’ attention to a variety of historic sites and sometimes dolphins in the waters of Galveston Bay.
Seagull II has a comfortable main deck, sheltered from sun and rain. An open upper deck affords a full panorama of water and sky. For photo bugs and influencers, photography is highly encouraged.
Built specifically for sight-seeing and educational excursions, the Seagull II is stable, sheltered, and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard. Her operators are fully licensed and knowledgeable about the history and lore of her home waters.
Seagull II offers soft drinks and bottled water for sale
