Historic Boat Tour
2025-05-22 18:30 - 20:30 | Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center Eco-Tour dock, 400 2nd Ave NE Slip Q47, St. Petersburg, FL, 33701, United States
The St. Petersburg Museum of History has partnered with the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center on the St. Pete Pier to present the City’s first Historic Boat Tour!
Join us on May 22nd, for the 2-hour monthly tour that will highlight the city’s waterfront history and land alterations that have shaped St. Petersburg’s downtown shoreline and culture over time.
Discover the history of St. Petersburg from the water – the good, the bad, and the funny. Join us to find out how a cast of colorful characters turned a sleepy fishing village into a world-famous tourist destination, and learn what happened to the Tampa Bay ecosystem as a result. It’s the perfect blend of history, science, and beautiful waterfront views.
The tour will depart from the Tampa Bay Watch Discovery Center Eco-Tour dock across from the Museum of History in the City Marina at 10am and will travel along the waterfront from Snell Isle to Coquina Key.
Tickets are $40 for Museum Members and $45 for not-yet members. Seating is limited to 40 passengers per tour.
Call the Museum’s Guest Services Desk at 727-894-1052, ex. 200 with any registration questions.
