Named for the seminal Texas military commander known for strategically coordinating our fight for independence from Mexico, the M/V Sam Houston took its maiden voyage in 1958 and has been touring guests from Port Houston ever since. At 95 feet in length and holding 100 passengers, the boat gives guests the option of viewing their tour from an indoor lounge seat complete with air conditioning to an outdoor deck where you can feel the wind in your hair while taking in the scenic views.
Taking people through one of the most diverse ports of Texas, not to mention globally, guests are treated to a free, 90-minute voyage on this wonderful boat. During that time the rich history of the city’s coastal region and port are covered in depth, leaving them informed and newly aware of its maritime industry and the value it contributes to the state.
