Captain Nate and his crew have created something special on Grand Traverse Bay. Guests consistently rave about the welcoming, knowledgeable staff who make everyone feel at ease, whether you're celebrating an anniversary or organizing a corporate event. The attention to detail stands out - locally sourced charcuterie boards, reusable cups showing eco-conscious touches, and even accommodating dietary requests. Many reviewers mention how Captain Nate's communication before trips was excellent, particularly when weather concerns popped up. The sailing experience itself delivers exactly what you'd hope for. Passengers can help raise the sails if they want to get involved, or simply relax and enjoy stunning sunsets over the water. The crew strikes that perfect balance of being informative about the area while keeping things fun and lighthearted. Groups of all types - from couples to senior leadership teams - found it ideal for their needs. The schooner is beautiful, provisions are thoughtfully curated from local vendors, and the overall vibe is peaceful yet engaging. This consistently exceeds expectations for those looking to experience Lake Michigan from the water.
Had the best experience with Kate and Nate!!! The views were amazing and the service was above and beyond. Highly recommend!
