Took the noon cruise. Crew was great. Boat was very clean. . Wonderful day for a cruise. Rum drinks are delicious. Very nice time with friends. Totally relaxing sail. Thought it was really neat that the Nauti-Cat was run by family and friends through the years.

– Kate U., TripAdvisorI highly recommend to visitors and Michiganders. Very enjoyable and beautiful scenery. Our captain and first mate were great and everyone we met on the cruise were very friendly.
– Debra S., TripAdvisorSuper fun relaxing way to spend a few hours on the water. Great value! Much cheaper than a conventional sailing cruise for the same kind of adventure. We plan to take more visitors out next summer too!
– Elizabeth F., TripAdvisorNauti Cat came recommended to me from a friend as a must do during our trip to Traverse City. My husband and I did the sunset cruise and enjoyed the staff energy and knowledge of the area. We would definitely do it again during a future visit!
