Private Traverse City sailing charters ranging from 2 hours to a full day!
Sailing Yacht Scout allows up to six passengers a chance to chart their own course for adventure. All of Scout’s sails are private bookings, so you have a captain to sail you where you want to go, and the whole boat to yourself. Cruise past downtown Traverse City, explore the shores of the Old Mission or Leelanau Peninsulas, or book a longer trip to the secluded Power Island—the Bay is yours to explore aboard Scout.
Power Island Package
Embark on a spectacular sail to Power Island, where you may go ashore to enjoy hiking, picnicking, sunbathing, rock hunting and swimming. A relaxing sail back to “civilization” completes this memorable experience. This option is an ideal family adventure!
