Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to book in advance?

Are pets welcome?

What is your cancellation policy?

If something changes on your end we offer a full refund up to 72 hours before your scheduled sail. We are happy to reschedule your sail based on your needs and our availability.  If the weather is not favorable or safe for sailing we will need to cancel and will do our best to accommodate you at another time or of course offer a full refund.

What should I wear?

A cold sailor is not a happy sailor.  We want you to be comfortable.  Dress in light layers as the weather can be cooler on the water compared to on the land.  Light blankets are available on board. Soft soled non slip shoes are best.  Bring swim gear in the summer months!

Can we bring food and drink on board?

Absolutely ! We just ask that no red wine for staining reasons. We have a full galley with everything you will need .Water ,ice and light snacks are provided.

Should I tip the Captain?

Tipping is customary and greatly appreciated!  While 20% gratuity is average, tips should be based entirely on your satisfaction.

Wind is docked at Center Pointe Marina (12935 S West Bay Shore Drive, Traverse City Michigan 49684). To  Park  pull in to the drive directly across the road from the brown center point building(has seagulls on it). Use the pedestrian tunnel that goes under the road.
