Iowan’s Silver Anniversary Schooner Sail!

5.00It was a great experience. Captain Nate, John and Chris were a fabulous crew. I love that this boat only accommodates a few passengers, it makes it more intimate and allows you more opportunities to interact with the crew. Hats off to John! The man knows his history. I picked up on a few sailing terms and was able to hoist the main sail. It was a rewarding experience and we will be coming back again in the future. Cheers!
A fun day of sailing

5.00We had a wonderful crew in Captain and a lot of fun on board with all the other passengers. The captain gave us a lot of information regarding all the harbors and answered all of our questions. Such a wonderful relaxing day for my girlfriend and I.
It’s definitely worth...

4.00It’s definitely worth waiting for a windy day. We hardly moved and he had to use the motor just to keep moving. So we were disappointed.

Fun and Chill Experience with Captain Dan

5.00Had a lovely time with other guests, the first mate and Captain Dan. The weather was beautiful and the trip around the bay was relaxing. Captain Dan is a wealth of knowledge and answered all of my curious questions about the bay and landmarks we passed by. My partner and I do not drink, but the Wind Dancer provided some non-alcoholic options including one of my favorite N.A. beers. The rest of the drink menu looked fantastic and lunch was lovely and filled with local items. We liked a cheese so much that after unboarding the Wind Dancer we went straight to the source - The Cheese Lady. This trip is a must-do when visiting Traverse City for a few days.
