“A gorgeous and interesting historic sailboat! It was an amazing sailing experience and we had so much fun! Captain Brett was outstanding and made us all feel so comfortable on board, especially our small daughter who had never been on a boat before. 10/10 would recommend”
This is a MUST DO if you are visiting Traverse City! The yacht is stunning and I enjoyed learning of it's rich history. Captain Brett and his crew are hands down amazing! So knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming. They wonderfully blend safety with an unforgettable sailing experience. We made memories that will last a lifetime and it was worth every penny. Thank you Captain Brett and crew and keep up the great work! We are already planning to come back and do it again next summer. Cheers! - UP-Backcountry
