What To Expect

Arrive around half an hour before your departure time to listen to a welcome briefing from the second mate. Then climb aboard the Wind Dancer for your 2.5-hour sunset sailing adventure. Start your journey with your choice of wine, beer, a cocktail, or a soft drink, accompanied by snacks produced right in Traverse City.

Next, indulge on a picnic dinner of locally sourced fare (vegetarian options are available with advanced notice). When you're done with your meal, you can hang out on deck taking in sunset views or spend some time exploring the boat's salon below the deck as you listen to onboard commentary from the crew. Topics of discussion range from the history and ecology of the Great Lakes and the surrounding regions to the ins and outs of sailing. After the sunset, head back to shore.
