Discover Manistee Through Scenic Waters And Local Stories
Visitors can explore the beautiful waters surrounding Manistee on a scenic boat tour departing from Manistee City Marina along the downtown riverfront. Each journey begins with a ride toward Lake Michigan, where the crew checks current water conditions and chooses the most comfortable route for passengers.
When Lake Michigan conditions are favorable, the boat travels either north or south depending on waves and passenger comfort. Southern journeys head toward Big Point Sable, while northern excursions explore the harbor of Onekema and the entrance to Portage Lake, offering changing waterfront views throughout the adventure.
If Lake Michigan becomes uncomfortable, the tour moves inland along the peaceful Manistee River. Guests travel beneath two drawbridges before reaching Manistee Lake, where they can view the City of Milwaukee and a large USCG rescue boat while enjoying informative narration about Manistee history, culture, and waterfront landmarks.
The experience combines sightseeing, local storytelling, and relaxing cruising across scenic waterways. Each excursion is carefully adapted to weather and water conditions, helping create a comfortable experience for passengers. A minimum of twenty adults is required for the boat tour to operate, with advance notice provided when this requirement is not reached.
