Our Story

The Aquastar, formerly known as The Port City Princess, has a rich history in Muskegon of cruising both Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. Whether it's a sunset cruise or daytime excursion you will be sure to enjoy your time out on the water. Conveniently located at the Mart Dock in downtown Muskegon with plentiful parking, the Aquastar's new interior design and exterior color scheme takes inspiration from the streamlined style of historic vessels from Muskegon's past such as the S.S Aquarama and the S.S Milwaukee Clipper. The design pays homage to Muskegon’s rich maritime heritage and will bring a sense of nostalgia and historical intrigue. We can accommodate private parties of up to 150 guests or enjoy one of our many public or special event cruises and meet new friends out on the water. Under new ownership and equipped with a freshly refurbished bar, dining and galley areas, a DJ booth and an upper deck dance floor, the Aquastar can accommodate almost any type of party in comfort and style. There's nothing quite like being out on the water in West Michigan during the summer. Visit aquastarcruises.com for more detailed information or give us a call at 231.903.0669 and let us create a package designed for your needs.
