Artist Boat presents Float the Boat Nov. 14th

Limited Seating Available

 

                               Saturday, November 14 & Saturday, November 21, 2026

Join Artist Boat for Float the Boat: Stewards of Tomorrow, our annual celebration benefiting environmental education and conservation on Galveston Island.

Set against one of the most beautiful sunsets on the island, Float the Boat brings guests together on the Artist Boat Peninsula at the Coastal Heritage Preserve for two extraordinary evenings celebrating conservation, community, and the future of Galveston Island.

Guests will enjoy a gourmet plated dinner, curated libations, live music and dancing, a live plein air painting auction, raffle, online auction, and an unforgettable sunset over the bay and marshes.

We’ll also celebrate Artist Boat’s conservation milestones, the impact we’re making with K–Grey learners, and give guests a glimpse of what’s next for Artist Boat.

Your support helps us create Stewards of Tomorrow—today—and ensures a lasting legacy of wilds on Galveston Island.
