Overview

What makes this tour truly unique is the opportunity to experience the magic of sailing aboard the majestic tall ship Manitou on the breathtaking Grand Traverse Bay. This isn't just a boat ride; it's an immersion into the age of sail. For two unforgettable hours, you'll be invited to actively participate in setting the sails, feeling the power of the wind as the engine is silenced, and the ship glides silently across the water. Whether you choose to relax and soak in the stunning scenery or learn the ropes firsthand from our expert crew, assisting with lines or even taking the helm, this evening sail offers a truly authentic and engaging sailing experience unlike any other.
