You will cruise around the Offatts Bayou as you enjoy the lavish life, the boat boasting plush carpeting, elegant draperies, colorful lighting, and helpful and uniformed staff. Enjoy the open-air promenade deck or the two elegant dining rooms, the Texas Room and Galveston Room.

Note: The dinner cruises take place between 7 pm and 9 pm, with boarding at 6 pm. No matter what cruise you take, be sure to be there 30 minutes early at least for boarding.
