BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE

Sailing the Detroit River has never been easier or more exciting.

Choose from 2-hour or 4-hour private or open group tours, perfect for up to six guests. Whether you’re gathering friends or joining new ones on an open sail, you’re in for an unforgettable time on the water.

It’s BYOB, so bring your favorite refreshments, and we’ll supply the cooler or fridge to keep things chilled — just don’t forget the ice.

With a variety of unique vessels to choose from, you can pick the perfect ride for your crew and your vibe.

ASSEMBLE YOUR CREW

We depart from the marina and head out onto the water. We will set sail and catch wonderful views of Belle Isle, the downtown skyline, Lake St. Clair, The Detroit Yacht Club, the Canadian waterfront, and much more. Participation in the sailing is welcomed, but not mandatory, of course.

This is the perfect trip for groups of friends, romantic evenings, special occasions, or any event you would like to make extra special and memorable. We can accommodate most special requests, so if you have a crazy idea, we’d love to hear it!

ENJOY THE DETROIT RIVER

The Great Lakes are a huge source of pride for us Michiganders, and the Detroit River is not only a vital part of their connectivity, it is a beautiful body of water in and of itself. As the old saying goes, “If you want to know a city, look at the water around it.” The Detroit River is more beautiful than it’s been in decades, and Detroit itself seems to riding the same wave.
