Shoreline Charters will be offering scenic island cruises from Kaps Marina during the Death’s Door Barbecue Contest. This narrated one-hour cruise will take you to see the Plum and Pilot Island Lighthouses, local shallow water shipwrecks and other island landmarks. See eagles, pelicans, swans and other wildlife, and learn the history of the area while relaxing aboard the Shoreline. All tours start and end at Kaps Marina, right next to the ferry dock on Washington Island. For cruise times or to make a reservation please call 920-421-0922. We look forward to seeing you there!
