We had a great time, with a very knowledgeable and friendly crew. We met a couple from Ohio that were repeat customers!
This was a highlight of our trip to Traverse City. The knowledgeable Captain and crew treated us wonderfully! We enjoyed the sunset and the food and drinks!
Service was great. The vibe was great. When I read food and drinks for $450 for 2 people, I expected more than chips and crackers with some cheese. I don’t want to knock the existence but That price was steep for what it was. We thought we were getting more of a dinner type situation. A fancier experience if you will. This was a small snack.
Captain Lili was great
Educational and also very interesting life and experience to become a Cpt.
Nice relaxing
All you can drink if you are up to it
Food was great
Great and relaxing sail around the bay. Crew was fantastic and the drinks and snacks were perfect. 2 thumbs up!
Finding the boat was confusing because we didn’t know the name of the boat. The sailing was great but don’t go expecting much to eat - only light snacks.
Very relaxed, easy atmosphere,
Delicious local goodies to snack on, very kind staff!! Glimmering water and sunset!
Don’t forget a windbreaker or light jacket!
Absolute highlight of our trip! Kate and Dan were fantastic. I highly recommend this adventure in Traverse City.
was a great experience, much smaller group than most of the other boats. Captain Nate and his crew were amazing. we took the sunset cruise with food and drinks and that was great. they use locally sourced products.
Do not miss this tour. I cannot express how much un we had and how nice the staff was. The views were incredible, the food was great and the music was heavenly.
Staff was amazing, service was perfect. Had a great time breaking my team away from the busy day to to day and take a step back enjoying an amazing view and relaxing experience.
Highly recommended.
Get the best seat and eat before you go on. I feel like the cheese plate could have had more on it but overall it was a wonderful experience and we had a blast.
It was an amazing experience!! First time on a sailboat & it was breathtaking!! The crew was amazing and so kind. It was definitely a 10/10 experience.
Great experience. Crew was friendly and helpful. Amazing scenery perfect for couples! Would recommend to everyone
Have done this trip twice now . Great experience. Food offered is all local . Very hospitable crew . Amazing way to spend 3 ish hours in Traverse city. Just the ride amount of sail time .
It was an amazing peaceful journey. Great weather, staff was great. I’ll do it again every visit to traverse city.
The cruise itself on the sailboat is relaxing and is a nice trip around Traverse Bay. The crew members were very personable and we were lucky enough to have great people in our group. The drinks were delicious and plentiful. Do not come hungry however. The food consists of a small container of crackers, cheeses, nuts and dried cranberries, and some meat logs and slices of lunchmeat. They also give a bag of chips. While the food was not what we were expecting, the rest of the experience was. I recommend this experience, but suggest a snack before and a meal after.
Marc and Nate were great hosts! We were pampered with excellent service by skilled sailors. The weather was fabulous and the lit dinner and drinks were just right for the sunset experience! Would recommend!
Captain Nate was very knowledgeable of the vessel and the area! The men on the boat helped put up the sails up which was fun to see! Very nice experience! Would definitely recommend!!
It most relaxing. It gives you a wonderful time to see the Traverse bay and enjoy good company and conversation.
The crew is terrific, they give you service and friendship. The captain is very informative and the crew makes you feel at home.
I will recommend this cruise to all my friends
Such a wonderful sailing experience with our captain Nate and his first mate Kate. Everything from the drinks to the snacks were wonderful. Nate did a great job explaining the history of the 63’ Wind Dancer schooner. It was a memory that will stay with us forever. I highly recommend this cruise!
Great sunset cruise, food, and the spirits were fantastic. Matter of fact the whole event was fantastic. The captain Nate and first mate Kate were so attentive and pretty good sailors too.
A wonderful experience with an exceptional crew! They made sure everyone was comfortable and were very personable. Great for anyone who loves boating and the sunset.
Crew is attentive, friendly, knowledgeable. They served a fun charcuterie meal of local specialties. Lovely boat
The Wind Dancer is a beauty and seaworthy vessel, manned by an expert and friendly captain and mate. They let me hoist and douse the sails, and take the helm for most of the sunset cruise. I was in heaven. I’d sailed for many years, but not recently. Being on such a beautiful schooner was truly the highlight of the vacation in Traverse City.
Dan was such a great captain. He was very personable and knowledgeable about the Grand Travers Bay and its history. He’s got great and interesting stories as well around his travels.
First Mate Kate was really nice , warm, and welcoming. She made sure we all had drinks and snacks and made great conversations of her adventures as well.
Excellent sunset sail with drinks and snacks. Beautiful views. The captain and first mate were superb! A must do if you are in the area!
Nate was fantastic!
The crew in general were amazing.
