Manistee Harbor Tours

The PRINCESS was built in 1973 in Bay City, MICHIGAN and is a sixty-five-foot all-aluminum passenger vessel with a rich history of carrying passengers to MACKINAC ISLAND and the PICTURED ROCKS at Copper Harbor. We offer a 501 cruise (5:30 -7:00 p.m.), a Sunset Cruise, Special Event cruises (Fireworks and Sunset, Fourth of July, Halloween), and private cruises. Our daily public cruises are 90 minutes. Cost is $40 for adults. Children ( age 3 to 12) are $20. The Princess will run cruises out of Manistee onto Lake Michigan and navigate the Manistee River into the Manistee Lake. In addition to a ship’s galley, for snacks and beverages, a liquor license permits the selling of domestic and locally brewed craft beer, wine, and mixed drinks. The PRINCESS is located at 426 River Street on the Manistee RIVER BOARDWALK below WEST SHORE COMMUNITY COLLEGE and the ELKS LODGE. It is a unique excursion that gives a light history of Lake Michigan and the Manistee shoreline.
