    Review summary

    4.9
    Excellent
    7 reviews•Google Maps

    Guests consistently rave about the attentive crews who make these Traverse City sailing trips memorable. Captain Michael, Eugene, Denny, Pete, and other team members get praised repeatedly for being knowledgeable, friendly, and going above and beyond to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. They serve drinks, share local lore, answer questions, and even let interested guests take the wheel for a bit. The relaxed atmosphere stands out, with comfortable bean bag chairs on the bow where you can settle in and enjoy the views. The booking process runs smoothly, and the hospitality shines from start to finish. Families appreciate how kind the crew is with children, while couples find these sunset sails perfect for romantic occasions. Multiple guests mention returning for second trips or already planning their next sail, which speaks volumes about the consistent quality of the experience. If you're looking for a laid-back evening on the water with friendly, professional hosts who genuinely care about showing you a great time, this comes highly recommended.

    Our sailing trip was the perfect evening activity in Traverse City! We sailed across the bay of the peninsula in comfortable bean bag chairs and our captain and second mate served us the food and drinks we brought on board throughout, allowing us to relax and take in the sights!
