What you'll do:

Join us for our windjammer cruise during the time where the winds on Grand Traverse Bay are most lively! We will sail out of West Bay Beach and see where the wind direction takes us. Enjoy a drink from our “dive bar” or lay back in our nets–either way, this cruise will offer you beautiful views of the Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas. Our windjammer cruise is great for anyone wanting to experience sailing in Traverse City.

The Nauti-Cat sails on West Grand Traverse Bay, and depending on the wind speed, the catamaran can reach 14 knots. There are two heads (restrooms) aboard. You are more than welcome to bring food aboard. If you want to feel like a part of the crew, we can put you to work raising the sails, jibing, tacking, and navigating.

While on the Nauti-Cat, you get the best view of Traverse City, so bring your camera because these photos will be unforgettable!

Why we love it for your party:

Exciting Sailing Adventure: Experience the thrill of true sailing as the catamaran catches the lively afternoon winds—no set route means every cruise is a unique adventure guided by nature.
Unbeatable Views & Chill Vibes: Kick back in the nets or grab a drink from the laid-back “dive bar” while taking in stunning views of the Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas.
Interactive Fun for Everyone: Whether you're looking to relax or dive into the action, you can help the crew sail or simply enjoy the ride—perfect for groups with a mix of energy levels and interests.
