SPECIAL TOUR OFFERING!
Join us July 25-31st, 2026 at Fayette State Park to venture out to Poverty Island, St. Martin Island, & Minneapolis Shoal Lighthouses!
Is your goal to visit all 129 Michigan lighthouses? If so, you already know the last ones to be checked off most everyone’s list are those located far offshore.
Pappy’s Tours is offering a small window of opportunity the last week of July this year to help you get out to see some of these remote structures! If you are a lighthouse fan, you will not want to miss this chance to see two (and possibly three) of Michigan’s hardest to reach lighthouses!
Join us at Fayette State Park July 25-31st to venture far out onto Lake Michigan to see Poverty Island Light, St. Martin Island Light, & Minneapolis Shoal Light!
Book your tour now! This is the first year we are offering this unique adventure and we plan to be in this area of Lake Michigan only one week each year.
Big Bay De Noc and the waters surrounding Poverty Island are some of the most beautiful you will find in our beloved state of Michigan. The adventure will begin in Snail Shell Harbor and sail out along the limestone bluffs of the Garden Peninsula southward around Big Summer Island and into the crystal clear waters of Poverty Island (one of Michigan’s most remote island Lighthouses and also the most endangered lighthouse in the United States).
We then sail further south to St. Martin Island Light Station (where a trip ashore may be possible). If conditions are favorable the day of your tour, we may also sail further west across the bay to get up close to Minneapolis Shoal Light and take in Peninsula Point Lighthouse (as a bonus) on the return trip to Fayette State Park.
Pappy’s Tours specializes in highly customizable charters in all of Northern Lake Michigan & Lake Huron (including the entire length of the St. Mary’s River). We will take you where you want to go…just about anywhere! Call us for additional details, pricing, and to reserve your spot! These tours will book fast!
We can accommodate a maximum of 6 guests per tour and duration depends on what you want to see and the wind/wave conditions on the day of your arrival. Tours cancelled due to weather may be offered the following day or later the same week depending on availability. Full refunds will be given for any tour cancelled due to weather only. Refunds are not available for no-shows on the day of your scheduled trip.
