Book a two-hour sunset cruise and bring your own drinks aboard a Galveston Harbor Sunset Tour on the Seagull II on Saturday evenings through Saturday, September 4, 2021.

From aboard the Seagull II, Texas Seaport Museum’s 50-foot, twin engine motor vessel, the Galveston Historical Foundation presents a weekly summer weekend cruise 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. Photography is very welcome.

Built specifically for sight-seeing and educational excursions, the Seagull II is stable, sheltered, and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard. The boat features a covered main deck, as well as an open upper deck with panoramic views of the water and sky.

Passengers ages 21 and older are invited to bring their own beverages onboard for these special evening tours.
