When in Traverse City, please take this adventure. The crew was fabulous and very professional. We met other very nice people also, and the atmosphere was relaxing. The food and drinks were very good and were perfect for this evening. Even those it was a cloudy evening, we actually did see a beautiful sunset. We highly recommend this!!

Great experience! I’d do it again on a return visit. Captains Dan & Nate (also owners) were terrific and Mate Kate so gracious. The sunset was spectacular as were the drinks, tasty Charcuterie and fudge.

It was beautiful. Make sure to bring extra layers. It's very cold on the water. It was a great experience.

It was a gorgeous evening and the temperature was a comfortable 70 degrees with warm winds coming from the North. The crew working the ship were professional and hospitable making the experience very enjoyable. Thank you Captain Nate, Erica and John for a fantastic sunset cruise.
