Explorer Charters Offering Sunset and Island Cruises This Summer - Thumbwind

With the disruptive effects of the Covid Pandemic starting to wane, I’m looking forward to returning to some sense of normalcy. One of those is the return of taking a sunset or picnic cruise from Caseville. Explorer Charters is resuming tour boat operations just in time for the Summer of 2021. It’s a great opportunity to see the shoreline from Saginaw Bay in the comfort of a large tour boat. Captain Tom told me that both the Sunset and the Lighthouse and Charity Island Picnic Cruise are back on the calendar.

In 2019, Captain Tom brought the Lady of the Lakes over from Leland, Michigan. The large tour boat had been conducting ferry service between Fishtown and Manitou Island in Lake Michigan. The 50-foot tour boat was refurbished for tours and Scuba dive chartering on Saginaw Bay this summer.

“We updated electronics including radar, VHF with AIS, and a new stereo system,” Tom noted. “We can take a passenger’s smartphone and play his or her favorite playlist on our onboard stereo speakers. It will be a great personal touch. ”

With Michigan lifting social separation requirements, Explorer Charters will be back on the Bay this summer. “Since the safety of my passengers is always my number one concern, our tour boat can hold 56, but we are limiting the number of passengers on board to keep comfortable. With the top deck open, folks can comfortability spread out.” Tom concluded.

Frequently Asked Questions – (FAQs)

Are Dinner Cruises still available on Charity Island?

Charity Island Dinner Cruises are not available this summer. You can cruise and view the Charity Island Lighthouse and Gravelly Shoals Light on the tour boat Lady of the Lakes from leaving from the Caseville Municipal Harbor.

Do the cruises include a visit on Charity Island?

No. Both the Sunset and the Lighthouse and Charity Island Picnic Cruises do not include a visit to the island this year. The privately owned and maintained harbor on the island is currently blocked with sand from fluctuating lake levels. Tour boats like the Lady of the Lakes cannot get in the small harbor.
