SUMMARY:Estuarium Benefit Cruise 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sunday, August 16, 2026, we set sail for a day of exploration and education on the water! This fun-filled boating excursion, on a private yacht, celebrates our beautifully unique estuary ecosystem. We’ll cruise by south sound islands on our way to a surprise location where we will enjoy a catered lunch off the yacht. We will leave Port Plaza dock at 10 am and plan to return to that location around 4 pm.\nLaura Busby, who has a heartfelt passion for helping people connect with nature and the environment, will be this year’s onboard educator. Her work as a naturalist and environmental educator across a wide range of settings and organizations, including urban nature centers, historical farms, schools, state and national parks, and zoos, has shaped her professional career. Today, she volunteers with the Puget Sound Estuarium, Nisqually/Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, and Grays Harbor Audubon. Estuarium roles include leading Urban Birding programs, training Meet the Beach Naturalists on visitor engagement techniques, and supporting Pier Peer programs.\n“This cruise is about more than just having a wonderful time connecting with the Puget Sound on the water, it is also about reinvigorating our love and empathy for these irreplaceable habitats and animals. It’s about leaning into science, stewardship, reciprocity, and empathy towards place and each other. On this cruise, you can do more than just hang out on a great boat and eat a delicious lunch; you can also learn, share, and connect to a community who cares together.”\n-Kylie Rench, Design and Communications Manager.\n\nAges 13+\nTickets – $475 plus vendor processing fees.\nTickets are non-refundable after August 9th. All ticket proceeds go directly to support the Estuarium’s all-ages science-based education.\nThank you for your generosity and support of Puget Sound Estuarium.\n					\n									TICKETS\n					\n			\n
