The 2025 White Lake History Cruises will mark the last year for the popular event, at least for now. The cruises, aboard Muskegon's 125-passenger Aquastar vessel, have sold out for several years running, and its final planned cruises will take place Sunday, July 27.
Guests are invited to explore the history behind White Lake, such as how it got its name; early explorers described the water as white due to a unique "white clay" along the lake bed. Those were actually ancient marl deposits, long since gone but never forgotten.
The cruises, presented by the White Lake Chamber & Visitor's Bureau, will take place at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. that day and launch from the Goodrich Park marina. Parking is available at Goodrich Park and the Chamber lot.
Cost to sail is $38 for the two afternoon cruises and $44 for the 7 p.m Twilight Cruise. Each ticket includes one drink ticket, with a full bar of non-alcoholic and alcoholic options alike available for sale in addition.
Cruises are limited to those age 12 and over, and guests are asked to bring a photo ID if they plan to enjoy an alcoholic beverage.
