I highly recommend booking a cruise! This was my 3rd cruise with this company. The captain and his crew were incredible- humorous and welcoming! The view is gorgeous no matter the weather or season. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the guest presenter did not have a microphone and speaker made available to her. She too, was wonderful and when she spoke near us, we were delighted with her presentation.
I recommend ordering the local soda, adult beverages and snacks available on board. The Resiling was perfect!
Last piece of advice- tip the crew! They work hard!
Embark on a captivating 2-hour morning sail that delves into the rich history and enduring connection between the Anishinaabe people and Grand Traverse Bay. Join Tera John, a Knowledge Carrier and Story Keeper from the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, as your guide aboard the Manitou. Experience the Bay through the eyes of its ancestral residents, learning about its vital role in their lives and culture since time immemorial.
