Order Tickets

Come and take a ride on Preston's Pearl, an enclosed pontoon boat and Moraine State Park’s premier attraction, now featuring a second floor open air deck. Enjoy learning about the area’s natural history and osprey reintroduction, while appreciating the unique scenery and wildlife on an exciting trip around Lake Arthur. Boat tours operate on a regular schedule throughout the summer and are open to the public. Tickets are required and can be purchased online or at the Owlet Gift Shop.

Preston's Pearl boards at the McDanels Boat Launch, adjacent to the Gift Shop. Preston's Pearl is handicap accessible.  There are limited bathroom facilities onboard, so early arrival is suggested to allow use of modern restroom facilities.

Preston's Pearl offers enjoyable brunch and dinner cruises for the public as well as private charters for business meetings, wedding showers, baby showers, seminars, reunions, and parties. Call us today to schedule your reservation!

Environmental programs are also available aboard Preston's Pearl - great for homeschoolers, scouts and classrooms.
