As the winds pick up across the surface of West Grand Traverse Bay, they occasionally catch the roughly 1,000 square feet of sail that towers above the deck of the Nauti-Cat, allowing the catamaran to smoothly cruise through the water at speeds of up to 14 knots. The crew leads as many as six outings each day depending on the weather conditions. During these day trips, as many as 37 passengers can savor views of the sunset or the Old Mission Peninsula's luxurious homes while they relax on a vessel complete with modern amenities, including two restrooms and an on-board cash bar. On select Friday and Saturday evenings, the Nauti-Cat hosts lively musical performances as local bands or DJs set up on a custom-designed stage on the vessel's bow.
