Set Sail on the Ultimate Flotilla Adventure
Ready to experience the freedom of sailing alongside fellow adventurers, with no rigid itineraries — just pure, uninterrupted sailing? Our Flotilla Adventure along Northern Michigan’s stunning coastline offers the perfect mix of exploration, learning, and fun. Whether you’re an experienced sailor looking for like-minded company or new to cruising and eager to build confidence, this adventure is for you.
Sail the Best of Northern Michigan
This year, we’re embracing a more purist approach to sailing — less motoring, more sailing. Departing from CenterPointe Marina, you’ll follow along with Captain Kimberli, who will offer expert guidance while allowing you the freedom to chart your own course. Explore iconic destinations such as Suttons Bay, Northport, Charlevoix, and Elk Rapids, with options to dock at marinas or anchor out under the stars. This is sailing the way it was meant to be.
For the full cruising experience, we recommend reserving a dinghy and propane grill, perfect for grilling dinner onboard or exploring secluded shorelines.
Choose Your Vessel
Experience luxury cruising aboard one of our premium sailing yachts. Our fleet includes a range of Jeanneau Sun Odyssey vessels from 35 to 44 feet. Each boat is designed for comfort, performance, and unforgettable sailing experiences. Pricing varies per boat, so be sure to visit our website for full details.
The Twisted Sheet Regatta
Even cruising sailors can’t help but to trim the sails and go faster. At some point during the flotilla we will announce that the next destination will be a race! The winning boat will get their names engraved on the coveted “Twisted Sheet Regatta” trophy on display in the GLSC office. And of course, bragging rights. Each boat will get a perf rating to make it fair but unfair antics that give an advantage are always encouraged.
Want to Learn While You Sail?
Take your sailing skills to the next level with one of our Flotilla-Style ASA Courses. These courses are designed to combine hands-on learning with all the fun of the flotilla adventure.
