What the day feels like

What the Sail Feels Like

You board the Catalina, settle in under the captain’s direction, and spend the next three hours moving across Lake St. Clair as the shorelines soften and the sun drops. It’s a measured, social outing—bring light snacks, a jacket, and water—and the emphasis is on comfort and the view rather than on intensive sailing instruction.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this sail is best for — and who should think twice.

1
Families with older childrenSuitable for families because the experience accepts children ages 6 and up and runs as a relaxed, social outing rather than a high‑adrenaline activity.
2
Small groups and friendsA private charter option exists for small parties (up to six people), making the sail a good choice for groups wanting a private evening on the water.
3
New or casual sailorsThe outing includes a captain, so people with little or no sailing experience can relax and enjoy the scenery without needing to crew the boat.
4
People sensitive to motionThose prone to seasickness should plan ahead: seasickness medication is recommended (or take medication an hour before), and quiet, short sails may be preferable.
