Superior Charters & Yacht Sales offers a uniquely immersive way to experience the vast waters near Bayfield, Wisconsin, aboard the Sweet Freedom—a 39-foot Jeanneau sailboat engineered for comfort, safety, and adventure. Situated on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Bayfield acts as the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, a striking region marked by rugged sandstone cliffs, sea caves, and dense northern forests. This sailing charter blends spirited navigation with the peaceful allure of one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world.

Sweet Freedom's spacious design accommodates up to nine guests with three cabins and a modern galley outfitted with a top-load refrigerator, stove, oven, and an LP gas BBQ grill—ideal for extended trips on the water. Its rigging includes a sloop setup with furling headsail and mainsail, supported by GPS navigation and autopilot systems, allowing expert and novice sailors alike to navigate confidently across open waters or closer to secluded bays.

Superior Charters stands out in this region by combining downtime luxury with active sailing. The boat’s features—including a dodger and bimini, depth sounder, and stereo system—underscore a seamless experience between adventure and comfort. Adventurers can anchor near the Apostle Islands to paddle through sea caves or hike coastal trails, all within easy reach.

What sets this charter apart is its balance of freedom and responsibility; skippers must demonstrate sailing proficiency, ensuring safety and optimal use of the vessel. The company also provides a consumables kit, removing hassle while encouraging guests to bring personal essentials and provisions. This approach crafts a highly personal, hands-on voyage through a freshwater wilderness few watercraft experiences match, making Superior Charters & Yacht Sales a premier choice for Lake Superior sailing.
