GBF's annual Redfish Raft Up takes place during Labor Day weekend next to Redfish Island in Galveston Bay. In years past, nearly 150 private boats have gathered around the Star Gazer to listen to a concert by singer/songwriter Kelly McGuire. Watch a Wiredin.cc video with Bob Stokes and Kelly McGuire as they tell you about the Redfish Raft Up event.
Join us in 2010 on Sunday, September 5th for a great day on the water! There will be live entertainment happening throughout the day starting at Noon and continuing until 4:00pm. Featured singer and song writer, Kelly McGuire, will perform from the deck of Star Fleet’s beautiful Star Gazer yacht from 12:30pm to 2:00pm. Before and after Kelly’s performance, Andy and The Dreamsicles will perform, and DJ Dave of Musical Cheers will keep us entertained.
Check out a video of 2009's Redfish Raft Up, posted by our friends with "Talk of the Bay" at wiredin.cc.

In Fond Memory
 | We are dedicating the 2010 Redfish Raft Up to Tom Lober, of Star Fleet Entertainment Yachts, who passed away in November. Tom was always kind to GBF, and it was his idea several years ago to put together what became the annual Redfish Raft Up. We miss Tom dearly and will always have fond memories. |
