It was a very sad turn of events but the staff handled everything with such grace and poise. The lady who initially checked us in was so friendly and kind. The captain kept us updated with real time feedback and made sure everyone was aware of the plan. It was very unfortunate that we were able to complete our excursion but we were offered alternative options or refunded the full amount of our tickets right there on the spot. We chose to get a refund which was an easy process with the captain. As first time visitors to Traverse city this was something we were really looking forward to and are hoping to try again when we return!

He has been sailing the area for many years, and we enjoyed his passion for the history of the vessel, his skill in navigating West Grand Traverse Bay, and his insight into the local area. There was plenty of room to comfortably relax and observe the sights and sounds of a smooth sail as the boat and its crew took good care of us. We also enjoyed witnessing a sailing regatta that was happening on the water nearby. I would recommend this experience for families, couples on a date, celebrations, relaxation, learning about sailing, and anyone seeking a unique thrill!

This was a last minute decision to do while on vacation.

You wonder onto Groupon in a last ditch effort to salvage the day and that is just what my friend did, so seeing as Nauti-Cat was an option for the time we'd hoped for and the amount of people we had was like this has to be it. And it was! We got there a bit early because we wanted to ensure we didn't screw this up again and the process to get registered and ready was simple. After 5 minutes to get us all set, we walked over to the hotel next door just to take a peek around and it was lovely - the back deck off the water was gorgeous. The restaurant looked dreamy. Then we boarded the boat and left all the day's stresses behind. The tunes came on, the water was magical, the crew was nice and funny and let us just do our thing. They had a shotski and lots of vacation energy. I would definitely go again and would recommend anyone else in the area looking for a majestic, peaceful and relaxing boat outing to check it out!

Each person gets a drink ticket, and they give you cute metal souvenir cups with each purchase. The boat is a good size for the amount of people, as there are plenty of seats for everyone and you get a good view wherever you are at. It can get a bit chilly on the water so make sure you bring a jacket if its chill out. The staff was friendly and even made a cocktail for us that was not officially on the menu. The view on the lake is beautiful, and this is a great couples boat ride, or even to do with family.

We have never been on a sailboat before, so it was a neat experience to watch our excellent crew unfurl the sails and get us out onto the Lake on the very last day of their season! Even cooler was the fact that they let me and some other guests pull the sails up at the start of the tour!! The views were unbeatable, and the crew did a great job of keeping us safe and entertained throughout the tour. Great drink selection and the snack boxes (some cheese, cherries, and crackers) as well as the lunch wraps were great for our couple hours on the water. I would definitely do this again when in town, or recommend to others who want to spend an exhilarating but serene afternoon on the water.
