Captain Nate took us on a great tour of the bay. He asked what we wanted to see and do and made a customized tour for us. We had a blast. The boat was comfortable and safe and had a great setup for us to bring dinner on the bay. Would 100% recommend!

Captain Chris provided my family with a delightful experience on the boat tour around Lake Michigan. It was a wonderful time and I would definitely repeat it.

We had a great time. It was relaxing to be on the water. Nate was a great captain, very friendly and easy to have good conversation with. We loved that it was just our group on the boat, and exactly what we did and where we went was flexible according to what we felt like doing. I would definitely recommend this tour and charter company to others.

What an incredible sunset tour with Captain John. He was so nice and knowledgeable. Great sense of humor and amazing customer service as safety and fun were tied for #1 on his agenda. Definitely recommend this tour with him.

We had such a great time with Captain John for our charter. It was doubly nice that the Bay was so empty. No crowds whatsoever. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Aug 2022

I highly recommend this charter to anyone who is visiting Traverse City and looking for an unforgettable time on Grand Traverse Bay! I traveled with my family (group of 5), and we all agreed that it was the highlight of our trip. The instructions prior to sailing were clear and concise making it easy to find parking and the port on the day of sailing. We were allowed to bring snacks and drinks (including alcoholic beverages on board), which was a huge plus! The pontoon boat is beautiful and an extremely smooth ride. Our captain John was incredibly courteous, knowledgeable, comedic and made the trip even that much more enjoyable. The route was perfect and even included a visit to a small island for a bathroom break and to look for Petoskey stones. I will definitely book this tour again the next time I'm in Traverse City. And don't forget to tip your captains at least 15-20% which is not included in the base fair; they are well-deserving of it!
