Sailing the waters of Grand Traverse Bay is the highlight of any trip “up north.” Stretching north from Traverse City, the Bay’s crystal waters and tree-lined shores dazzle the eyes and soothe the spirit. The Bay is the best place to be in the summer, and the best way to experience its magic is by sailing aboard Traverse Tall Ship Company’s Schooner Manitou or Sailing Yacht Scout. Setting out from the dock and quickly setting sail, both these fine vessels navigate this gorgeous landscape using the power of the wind.
