We were in town for the week and were perusing the brochures at the hotel and saw the brochure for Wind Dancer. The advertisement is well done and eye catching. We called and setup a day sail for the next day. What an amazing few hours we had. Captain Jason and the crew did a great job and the weather was perfect for a sail. We both had never been on a sailboat so just the feeling alone of being pulled through the water with really cool. The lunch that was served was exceptional, incredibly fresh, and filling. It was only about halfway through this fantastic experience that we learned that this was the first week of operation for the boat and it's crew. This excursion is well worth the money and it's an experience that you won't forget any time soon.

This is a great way to experience big boat sailing on a scenic bay in a spectacular area of Michigan. The crew were all personable, attentive, and capable. The local food was particularly delicious!

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing 3 hour sail on the Wind Dancer. We were treated royally by the crew. Our captain, Jason, was skilled and informative. His crew, Mark, Audrey and Michelle were friendly, helpful and professional. It was lovely to sail across Grand Traverse Bay while eating delicious locally sourced food from bakers, farmers, cheese makers and chocolatiers. ( The fresh strawberries were amazing.) This experience should appeal to a wide audience.
