South Haven is known for some great summer events like the cottage walk and garden walk. Add a boat walk to your summer Must Do list! The Michigan Maritime Museum will be hosting their 5th annual Boat Walk August 18th from 12pm-4pm. Like the types of walks with which you may already be familiar, the Boat Walk allows you to explore privately owned vessels of different types and styles inside and out. “This is such a unique opportunity for visitors to visit beautiful boats in the South Haven harbor,” says Patti Montgomery Reinert, the Museum’s Executive Director. “We’re so grateful to the boat owners and all of our guests who help make this a successful fundraiser, now in its 5th year.”

Your ticket gets you aboard all participating vessels to meet the owners/captains, ask questions, and just enjoy each of these beautiful boats in South Haven’s Maritime District. Visitors check in at the Museum for a program and map and can visit participating boats at their leisure during the 4-hour walk. Once finished, walkers are welcomed back to the Museum to explore Museum exhibits, and a variety of their vessels, many of which offer on-water experiences with an educational twist.

Tickets to the walk include 8-10 boats and Museum admission. The cost for the Boat Walk is $15 per person (ages 14 and up) and can be purchased at the event or in advance at the Museum’s Ship’s Store, through the Museum website, at the South Haven Visitor’s Bureau, and the South Haven Chamber of Commerce.
