About Two Brothers Sailing Adventures

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.
