Restaurant Debuts Sunset Catamaran Cruises in Galveston Bay — Cocktails Included!

ALREADY KNOWN FOR fantastic views, Pier 6 Seafood & Oyster House is one-upping itself. The restaurant is now offering sunset cruises on Galveston Bay through a partnership with Great Escapes Yacht Charter.


Step aboard a 43-foot power catamaran and enjoy a coastal cruise along Galveston Bay, Clear Lake and Kemah every other Wednesday evening; the $150 per person cost includes two craft cocktails and chef-curated appetizers before the hour-long excursion. There’s an early cruise (cocktails at 5:30pm; departure at 6:15pm) and a late cruise (cocktails at 7:15pm; departure at 8pm). The yacht conveniently docks at the Pier 6 marina, and guests are invited to stay for dinner and hang on the decked-out, two-story covered patio.

Optionally, boaters can extend their night further, booking a stay at the Pier 6 Bungalows, renovated and owned by restaurateur Raz Halili. And the restaurant can coordinate other private yacht charters and dock parties, too.

'The Delicate Space' (photo by Lynn Lane)

THE GROUNDS AND gardens of Pilot Dance Project’s executive and artistic director Adam Castañeda’s childhood home are the site for The Delicate Space, a collaboration between Castañeda and choreographer and designer Ashley Horn. The Delicate Space is part of a collaborative, multi-year initiative between Castañeda and other artists and The Greater Northside Management District to produce new, multi-disciplinary projects inspired by the now rapidly gentrifying Near Northside neighborhood. The June 30 premiere is already sold out, but there are two more performances on July 1, and tickets are going fast.
