The Pelican Breeze II opens its season on Memorial Day weekend. The cruise boat has cruised Albert Lea Lake since 2017 and is slated for its first 2024 season cruise at 6 p.m. Friday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday.

The community can enjoy time with family and friends on the May to October, 6 p.m. Friday and 1:30 p.m. Sunday public cruises or book the boat (seats 55) for special events, birthday parties, reunions and company parties.

You may bring your own beverage or snack while you cruise for 1 1/2 hours or for a two-hour private cruise. Public cruises are narrated by first mates who point out historic landmarks and describe local wildlife.
