Why We Love This Unique Experience
Escape the everyday and indulge in a relaxing 6-hour private sailing experience aboard the classic yacht, Scout! Set sail in the spectacular waters of Grand Traverse Bay, where breathtaking views and unforgettable moments await. This exclusive adventure provides the perfect opportunity to explore the beauty of the bay while enjoying the comforts of a private setting.
Once the dock is left, there's an exciting chance to participate in raising the sails of Scout. As the engine fades away and the wind fills the canvas, experience the exhilaration of gliding silently across the water powered by nature alone.

This is not just an incredible day on the water, but also a wonderful gift for family or friends. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or simply a special gesture, the 6-hour private sail on Grand Traverse Bay is the perfect way to share meaningful memories. Reconnect with loved ones while embracing the beauty and tranquility of the open water, making it an experience to cherish forever!
