Save the date for Float the Boat 2019, the annual Artist Boat fundraiser and gala. This year, Artist Boat celebrates its 15th birthday Saturday, November 16th, 6-9:30pm at The Trolley Station, 2021 Strand, Downtown Galveston.  The event will include a plated gourmet dinner, live music, live and silent auctions; plus you can enter to win a kayak! Listen to live music from Alligator Handshake while enjoying beer, wine & signature cocktails from Del Papa, a gourmet dinner, dessert, and the live and silent auction! This year’s theme is ‘Shapes of the Sea.” This year’s event will be honoring the West Galveston Island Property Owners Association, a long time supporter of Artist Boat. WGIPOA’s mission is to preserve and protect the Gulf and bay shoreline and the quality of life as the west end continues to develop. Purchase tickets at artistboat.org. Sponsorships are currently available. You can purchase Raffle tickets at artistboat.org/float-the-boat/.

Artist Boat’s purpose is protecting our Gulf Coast through land conservation and with fun, educational, inspiring adventures that spark creativity, awareness, and action.

Since its inception, over 100,000 participants have helped bring 40,000 students to estuaries by kayak, foot, or vessel; created over 50+ public artworks; conserved over 600+ acres on west Galveston Island forming the Coastal Heritage Preserve and creating a place for the future Gulf Coast Environmental Education Center; restored over 50 acres of dunes and prairies to assure recovery of these ecosystems following Hurricane Ike; formed the Bucket Brigade comprised of a Marine Debris Task Force; conducted interpretive tours; and beautified buckets for trash, recycle centers, and more on Galveston beaches.

This year’s Kayak is a yellow and blue 13’6′ Viking Profish 400 – a great fishing kayak that is big on performance without compromising on stability, at home on coastal and inland waters. The Profish 400 is the perfect kayak for those wanting a lighter boat that still keeps those key features of a great angling kayak.
