Beats on the Bay
Come float with us for an evening of music, community, and fun on the Bay!

Pick a boat from our fleet and head out to listen to some tunes! Or if you’d like to enjoy the comforts of a slightly larger boat, tickets to be on the deck of the Schooner Zodiac can be purchased through the Zodiac link.
