Live pricing on Viator

What makes this tour truly unique is the opportunity to step back in time and experience the magic of sailing aboard the majestic tall ship Manitou on the stunning Grand Traverse Bay. Unlike your typical boat tour, this 2-hour Evening Sail offers a completely immersive experience. Once we leave the dock, the engine is secured, and you're invited to participate in setting the impressive 3,000 square feet of sail, harnessing the power of the wind itself. You'll glide along silently, guided by the wind and waves, with our expert captain and crew ensuring the best possible journey. Whether you choose to unwind and soak in the breathtaking scenery or actively participate in sailing the vessel – from assisting with the lines to even taking a turn at the wheel – this is an unforgettable experience that connects you to the beauty and history of sailing in a way few other tours can.
