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. Book a longer trip to the secluded Power Island, or even enjoy a sunset sail and a peaceful overnight aboard Scout while docked at Center Pointe Marina. Whichever experience you choose, it'll surly be the highlight of the summer.
Power Island Package
