Plan Your Visit
Experience the rich maritime heritage of the Great Lakes by visiting Michigan's most distinguished institution of maritime research, preservation and education.
Five separate buildings offer a variety of engaging opportunities for the Museum visitor including permanent and changing exhibits on Michigan maritime history, a center for the teaching of boatbuilding and related maritime skills, and a regionally renowned research library. Waterfront festivals and events are complemented by the hustle and bustle of a modern harbor and vast sandy beaches in one of west Michigan's most picturesque shoreline communities.
During the summer months special “Pirate Chaser Adventure Sails” are scheduled for the younger set at 10 AM, Wednesday though Saturday. The Captain briefs the young recruits on operations and procedures that will insure not only the sighting of pirates, but a guarantee of capturing the scoundrels and, in the tradition of the buccaneers, sharing in their loot. Never has so much adventure been packed into one 90 minute sail. For details and reservations call 1 800 747 3810 or purchase tickets online.
