Float the Boat supports Galveston’s treasured environmental education and conservation organization, Artist Boat!
The 3-night dinner series will directly benefit the wildlife that depends upon our region’s natural resources and wild
places, help conserve more land, and guarantee that we are here in the future to ensure that more youth will
experience these wonders with Artist Boat.

Each evening will include a fabulous plated gourmet dinner by Mosquito Café, a curated menu of beer and wine, live
music to enjoy the wilds, open trails, and sunsets, as well as an open bar, a live art auction, and raffle tickets. In
addition to this dinner series, an online auction hosting 250+ unique items will run from October 18-28. All items in
the auction are donated and include items such as local art, exclusive experiences, vacation stays, boat trips, and
tickets to events around Texas.
Everyone is welcome! Tickets are $150 for seated dinner per evening at the dinner series. Tickets can be purchased in
person at 13330 Settegast Road in Galveston, or online. If you can’t make it, you can still support Artist Boat by
purchasing a raffle ticket or donating online.
