Traverse Tall Ship Sailing is a Traverse City, Michigan sailing operator offering a variety of on-water experiences on Grand Traverse Bay. The company runs two primary vessels — the classic yacht Scout and the tall ship Manitou — and lists public sails, private charters, and specialty events that accommodate families, groups, and private bookings.
Available experiences include short 2-hour afternoon and sunset cruises aboard Scout, 6-hour private adventures and the Power Island Package for hiking and swimming, the Scout Overnight Package that pairs a sunset sail with a dockside overnight stay, and a selection of Manitou sails such as the Brunch Cruise, Moomers Ice Cream Sail, Entertainment Night with live music, and evening sails with optional dinner. The Scout Special Event Air Show Sail provides exclusive views of the Cherry Festival Air Show from the water.
Many trips invite guest participation in sailing tasks and interaction with a friendly crew. Some private and public offerings include complimentary snacks or optional meals through local partners. Trip descriptions specify duration, vessel, and available amenities to help guests choose the right experience.
Featured on The Adventure Collective, Traverse Tall Ship Sailing presents clear booking options for private and group sails in Traverse City and focuses on delivering scenic views of the shoreline, historic landmarks, and the natural attractions around Power Island. The fleet’s mix of short sails, extended outings, and themed events provides choices for first-time sailors and seasoned guests alike.
