The Seawolf, which is a forty foot catamaran sailboat, will be available for short cruises all day at special rates. This boat is incredible and it is a “must do” activity when you visit The Harbor. “The musical artist line up is fantastic and we have varied genres,” stated Hooper. We will have multiple shuttle buses with free parking for our guests at Rockwall High School.
