See the Detroit skyline at sunset, sail past Belle Isle park, and experience Detroit’s namesake river in breathtaking fashion. Wonder is a 82’ pirate schooner converted into an oceanographic exploration vessel. We combine learning with the beauty of nature in 2 hour sails.You can help haul on sails or even steer the boat if you want to. Or just sit back, relax, and take it all in.

BOOK YOUR ADVENTURE

It’s as simple as that! 

We offer two and four hour tours up to six guests at a time. Gather a group or join an open sail. On a boat ? On the Detroit River ? Yes!!

The trip is BYOB, so you can bring whatever you’d like. We do have a cooler or refrigerator aboard for keeping drinks nice and icy (bring ice). With three boats to choose from, you’ll be able to pick the vessel to best accommodate your party.

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.
