Set sail on a one-of-a-kind art and science adventure! Join us aboard The Discovery for Fish Painting on Rocks-a creative, hands-on cruise where passengers of all ages can design their very own "pet fish-rock" to take home. While you create your fishy masterpieces, dive into the fascinating world of fish presented by our local Wxtensions Educator, Mark Breederland from Michigan Sea Grant. Mark works with coastal communities and businesses in northwest Michigan to apply science-based knowledge to address Great Lakes issues, especially in regards to Clean Marinas and harbors, water levels, coastal resiliency, and recreational boating. Bring your curiosity and questions! Bring your family, bring your friends-and let's make waves with fish and paint!
Expert-Led Educational Adventures Aboard The Discovery
Set Sail on The Discovery, our intimate tour boat on West Grand Traverse Bay, for a series of cruises designed to spark curiosity, foster lifelong learning, and leave you truly inspired.
These unique, expert-led cruises bring local knowledge to life, with engaging presentations and hands-on workshops led by passionate professionals.
Whether you're a curious traveler, a lifelong learner, or someone looking to connect more deeply with the world around you, these two-hour cruises offer more than scenic views-they offer perspective.
Relax aboard our comfortable vessel while expanding your horizons in the company of fellow curious minds. These cruises are especially meaningful for seniors, educators, students, and anyone passionate about place-based learning.
The Cruises That Inspire Series is for travelers with purpose-people who want to return to the dock not only refreshed but transformed. We hope you'll leave each cruise not just informed, but also inspired.
Explore. Learn. Connect. Be inspired.
