When you go on a Martese cruise this summer you will board by handing your Captain a ticket. This ticket is hole punched to void it of being used again and handed back to you. This year that voided ticket will still have value so don't throw it away! If this ticket was a lunch, mid-day or evening cruise it can be redeemed for the full price(less taxes.) Dinner cruise tickets also apply but have maximum redemtion value of $15.00. How you ask? Before leaving the Martese indicate to one of the crew that you are also going to be taking a bus tour. They will stamp this ticket and then when you go to enjoy one of the bus tours you will recieve a discount for the value of that ticket!

The Martese is avaliable for charter. This means you and your group can privately enjoy a cruise on Clear Lake customized by you! There are a couple of ways to do this. First you may charter the Martese privately for a Dinner cruise for your special occasion all you need is a minimum of 20 persons.This applies Monday - Thursdays. 30 person minumum is required for weekends during July and August. Early (May 15th - June12th) and late (September 14th - October 10th) in the season minimums are only 10 persons.The deal works like this. Book your group at the standard rate of $59.00/adult or $29.00/child and thats it! The Martese is now private and under your choice of music, commentary, and  tour direction!

A second way to charter the Martese this summer is by the hour. The most thrifty deal being mornings (8:00am -9:30am) for departure time. This will cost you $550.00 for 1.5 hours. The lunch time cruise or evening cruise time can be bought out privately for $750.00.
