In celebration of the upcoming Waterland Festival, the historic MV Lotus yacht will be docked at the Des Moines Marina July 17-20, offering Dockside Tours from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.

According to the MV Lotus website:

Lotus has been a familiar sight in Puget Sound and North to Glacier Bay in Southeast Alaska for nearly 100 years. She was the largest power yacht on the West Coast when she was launched in 1909.

Today, she retains the charm and original furnishings of that lovely, adventurous era. Step aboard and Step back in Time.
