The Traverse City and surrounding areas are wonderful places to vacation. Our lifelong couple friends suggested we try the Wind Dancer Sunset Cruise while there for our annual vacation together. It was a wonderful experience. Will keep the memory alive of the joy we all felt during the cruise. Tawny played music we loved which only added to the enjoyment. Still humming the Bee Gees! We even made some new friends and traded stories. You will feel very safe with Captain Dan too!W6718ZPvickim

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I am so glad we did this. Went with a group of locals. Food was stellar, great conversation with others on the sail, and of course, it was beautiful on the water. Another thing to note was the professionalism of the entire experience--this isn't a thrown together deal. All was executed with precision and excellence. We loved it so much we did the bike tour the following day, which was equally impressive and enjoyable.504KateT

AWESOME experience!!! We loved it. I also love the idea of supporting local busnisses with all the food and drink on board. My only critique: there was no options for dinner choices and I left hungry.
