Two Brothers Sailing Adventures operates private charters and day sails on West Grand Traverse Bay from a 37ft vessel. The company offers short private cruises, full-day excursions to Power Island, and special-event charters such as the Cherry Festival Air Show. Licensed captain and mate staff every voyage, providing professional seamanship and first-class hospitality. Guests may bring their favorite beverages and enjoy cork service on select cruises.
Each experience is designed for small groups—most charters accommodate up to six guests—making trips ideal for families, friends, and intimate celebrations. Two-hour private day sails focus on relaxation and scenic cruising; longer Power Island cruises include opportunities for swimming, sunbathing, and picnics on board. The private sunset sail delivers picturesque golden-hour views, while the Cherry Festival Air Show charter offers close-up aerial viewing from the water during a 3.5-hour cruise.
Safety, comfort, and local knowledge are core priorities: the crew maintains the 37ft yacht to industry standards and plans routes to showcase West Bay highlights. Reservations are available for private charters and tailored itineraries; flexible options suit special requests and seasonal events. Two Brothers Sailing Adventures emphasizes clear communication at booking, transparent pricing, and attentive onboard service to ensure memorable outings.
Based on vessel size and crew configuration, most trips are intimate and personalized.
