Bay City Boat Lines has operated a special series of free tours since 1998. Tours are offered on a limited basis, in addition to our regular schedule of paid cruises and private charters. This is just our way of giving a little something back to the community we love. We especially enjoy hosting out of town guests and those who have never had a chance to ride on our beautiful waterways here in Bay City, Michigan.
A tentative 2009 summer schedule can be seen on our Calendar of Events Page at www.baycityboatlines.com. Use navigation pane on left side of page to view the calendar. Tickets will be available in the summer via our new online ticket service and toll-free hotline. Tours are free, but a $0.99 service fee will be assessed by the new ticketing service offered place this year. The new service features the ability to mail tickets directly to you and does not require you to visit our office to pick up tickets in advance.
Bay City Boat Lines also offers Sunset Entertainment Cruises, Red Hat Luncheon Cruises, Benefit Cruises and many other events on our regular schedule. We also rent our vessels for private cruises and tours seven days a week. Catering and a full bar is available.
