This spring Scorpion Bay welcomes guests to hop aboard one of the marina’s 52-foot-long luxury charter boats for a relaxing sunset or ranger-led cruise. On both excursions, visitors will cruise the lake, including its many coves and bluffs, as the day comes to an end and the moon rises.
“We love being able to offer such a serene lake experience to our guests,” said Scorpion Bay Marina General Manager Lynn Lovelady. “You don’t need to rent the entire charter boat to enjoy this exclusive experience, we’ve made it accessible for individuals, couples and even small groups to pay just $30 a person for their spot on the cruise adventure.”
The Sunset Cruise is a 75-minute experience where guests may bring their own beverage and snacks, or they can order food to-go from Scorpion Bay Grille. The crew handles everything from driving and docking to music, so guests can sit back and savor an unforgettable Arizona sunset on the water.
Upcoming dates for the Sunset Cruises that run from 6-7:15 p.m.* each time include:
- April 18, 19, 20 and 26
- May 3, 10, 17, 23, 24, 25, 31
- June 7, 14, 21, 28
- July 4, 5, 6, 12, 26
