A two-hour private charter aboard a 37-foot, crewed sailing vessel on Grand Traverse Bay for up to six guests, offering a focused sunset experience and first-class hospitality.
Leelanau’s Last Light: A Private Sunset Sail from Traverse City.
On a summer evening over Grand Traverse Bay, Two Brothers Sailing Adventures runs a two-hour Private Sunset Sail out of Traverse City that pares the night down to wind, water and the slow fall of the sun. A crewed 37‑foot vessel, helmed by a licensed captain and mate, carries small groups across calming water so the sky and clouds can do the heavy lifting—painted light, a relaxed deck and cork service for wine you bring aboard.

What the day feels like
What it feels like
You step aboard a crewed 37‑foot sailboat, cast off and move slowly away from shore into the bay. The crew handles sails and lines while you settle on deck, feel the breeze on your skin, and watch daylight slip into color. The two-hour rhythm is unhurried—light conversation, a cooler for your provisions, and the calm arc of sunset until the return run to port.
