Boat and crew were wonderful! Crew was helpful and very knowledgeable. Food was organic and locally sourced. Presentation was artful and nicely done. The cruise was delightful and worth every penny. There were five of us, family and friends and we were unanimous in our enjoyment and impressions. Thanks for a great day.

We sailed aboard the Wind Dancer for a family day tour on Sunday. The Wind Dancer periodically offers sails for families with kids and again, we weren't disappointed. Captain Dan offers a wealth of knowledge about the geology of the Great Lakes and he was patient in answering all of our questions. Captain Dan also taught the kids the basics of sailing and he allowed the kids to hoist the sails. Thank you Wind Dancer for a quality, educational experience.
