    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.

    Best Birthday ever! My husband and I turned 66 and celebrated with a 2 hr sail on the Michelle. Captain Angela and 1st Mate Jess were awesome. They were so friendly and made us feel comfortable, like we were sailing with our friends. Our sons were with us and Andrew got to raise the sail and trim the jib. ( I hope those are the correct terms).They also let him take over the wheel for a bit. It was a perfect day for a sail and a perfect way to celebrate. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable day.
