A Starlight Festival lake boat cruise just might be the way to take in the night skies this Memorial Day weekend during the inaugural Starlight Festival taking place in the Big Bear valley.
Captain John’s Fawn Harbor & Marina Starlight lake boat cruise will depart at 9:00pm on Saturday, May 24, 2014.
Passengers will climb aboard one of the comfortable and quiet eco-friendly electric boats for the two-hour adventure under the night skies. The lake tour boats feature comfortable seating and are sheltered from the elements in a cozy setting limited to 12 per vessel.
Voyagers are invited to bring their own beverages and enjoy finger foods while aboard the Rosebud or Serena.
Enjoy star gazing through the clear skies at high altitude as well as closer glimpses through telescope. Captain John’s knows you’ll enjoy viewing the night sky as well as the glimmering reflections of the celestial bodies on the surface of the lake as we circumnavigate the lake.
During the Captain Chat learn more about the unique history of Big Bear Lake and the role of celestial navigation in boating. Cost is $40.00 per person and reservations are required.
