Sea of Galilee & Yigal Allon Boat Museum, Israel, 2017
A Boat Tour on the Sea of Galilee and and the Ancient Galilee Boat Museum.
The Ancient Galilee Boat, also known as the Jesus Boat, is an ancient fishing boat from the 1st century AD, discovered in 1986 on the north-west shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The remains of the boat, 27 feet (8.27 meters) long, 7.5 feet (2.3 meters) wide and with a maximum preserved height of 4.3 feet (1.3 meters), first appeared during a drought, when the waters of the Sea (actually a great fresh-water lake) receded.

The Ancient Galilee Boat (Jesus Boat) at the Yigal Allon Centre
The Yigal Allon Centre contains the Ancient Galilee Boat, referred to as the Jesus Boat. It was discovered near the shore of the Sea of Galilee by two brothers who lived at the Kibbutz Nof Ginosar, the grounds that the Centre/Museum is on. It took many years in the process of protecting the boat, raising it from the water and preserving it, before it could be exposed to the air and finally shown in its present state to the public.
Nof Ginosar- The first Authentic Israeli kibbutz hotel
Nof Ginosar Hotel, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, the first of kibbutz hotels, over 50 years of intensive tourist activity, with many historical moments taking place in the hotel
Members of the Kibbutz Ginosar, Pioneers, saw the tourist enterprise as an expansion of the economic base of the kibbutz, a source of livelihood and a workplace for members. The cornerstone ceremony was held in the presence of the late Rachel Yanait Ben Tzvi, the wife of the then president, Yitzhak Ben Zvi. In 1965 the hotel was honored with a historic visit by Alfred Joseph Hitchcock, who arrived as a guest of Yigal Allon, a member of Kibbutz Ginosar, who served as Foreign Minister and member of the Knesset in Israel. The hotel is located on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, spreading on 10 acres of green spaces and near beach. The hotel still holds to its vision of being a home with a social and cultural atmosphere with an emphasis on the Israeli spirit. With 170 spacious rooms and luxurious suites, some of which overlook the Sea of Galilee, equipped with the all you need for the convenience and welfare of the guests. Most rooms are of the DELUXE type, with young and fresh design, in addition to 75 rooms which are family-garden-rooms.
Its geographical location allows easy access to all the attractions and tourist sites in the north, the Upper Galilee, Tiberias, the Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee and the Golan Heights.
The hotel offers a truly rustic country atmosphere, a hotel on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, a shaded near beach next to the hotel, a summer swimming pool, tennis courts, a basketball court and conference halls. Next to the hotel is a charming promenade along the Tzalmon stream with seating areas, a 3 km walk, running through the kibbutz fields and along the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The hotel offers a restaurant which serves delicious Israeli and international meals, under the supervision of Chef Gil Green - as well as delicious pastries.
The hotel is a major attraction for tourists from all over the world, with an emphasis on pilgrim tourism due to its location alongside baptismal sites, and the Yigal Alon Museum where the ancient Jesus Boat is displayed.

Kibbutz Nof Ginosar
In Israel, a kibbutz, or gathering/clustering, is a collective community traditionally based on agriculture. Degania, the first kibbutz was established in 1909. Kibbutz Nof Ginosar was founded in early 1937 by young Socialist Zionists. Kibbutz Nof Ginosar was also the home of Yigal Allon, a military leader and, later, a political leader who believed in peaceful coexistence between Arabs and Jews. Today the primary source of income for the Kibbutz Nof Ginosar is from tourism. It was originally an agricultural community. The Yigal Allon Centre museum is on the grounds of the Kibbutz near the shore of the Sea of Galilee.
Galilee Boat
The Galilee Boat
The Galilee Boat is a first century fishing vessel discovered on the shoreline of Genesar, a few miles south of Capernaum. This artifact, also known as the “Jesus Boat,” puts the Gospel accounts on the Sea of Galilee into better context.
During a major drought here at the Sea of Galilee, two brothers noticed a large oval shape in the muddy shoreline. Representatives of Israel’s Department of Antiquities checked it out and confirmed that it was the remains of an ancient fishing vessel.
What happened next was remarkable. Working around the clock, the Galilee Boat was exhumed from the mud over an eleven-day-period in a painstaking process that preserved the fragile remains. The boat was wrapped in a polyurethane shell and then immersed in a special tank of water. Over a period of years, the rotten wood was replaced with a special wax, underwater. Ultimately, through a process of gradually raising the water temperature over a period of many months, the wax-filled shell was removed from the tank and placed on display at the Galilee Boat Museum in Genesar.
Multiple studies have dated the Galilee Boat – or “Jesus Boat” -- in the range of 100 BC to 100 AD. The structure and features of the Galilee Boat are consistent with the fishing boats mentioned throughout the Gospel accounts and depicted in ancient artwork of the period. A famous first-century mosaic corroborates the first-century design of the Galilee Boat, including the four oars, a rudder, and a small mast. A crew of six or more was common.
