5.00My friends and I really enjoyed our time sailing on the lake. Such beautiful views and the experience was one of a kind. We enjoyed talking to our Captain about the area and enjoyed the introduction to sailing and piloting a boat of that size. The boat was beautifully maintained and a one of a kind vessel. All around a great and memorable time.
Great experience on the water!

5.00We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Mark. We celebrated 70th birthdays, laughed, and enjoyed the scenery and music. Captain Mark made everyone feel safe and educated us on sailing and Traverse Bay. Great experience!
