PRIDE Paddle Cruises

Ahoy, Mateys ! Last year’s cruise was too much fun, a second cruise has been added! Get ready for an evening on the water you won’t soon forget aboard Saugatuck’s very own sternwheeler paddleboat, Star of Saugatuck! This is your chance to see the beauty of the Kalamazoo River and Lake Michigan from a different perspective on this unique 90-minute cruise. PLUS, the Pride Paddle Cruises feature DJ Ruth Crowe, a dancefloor, complimentary snacks, and a cash bar for your enjoyment!
