Sailing Adventure Trips
Come as couples, a family, or as a friend group to see the Upper Peninsula from the water. It’s hard to describe in words what it’s like to sail past Pictured Rocks or Grand Island, or into a new harbor through the eyes of early explorers.
Come sail the unrivaled beauty of Lake Superior!
We can customize your trip to explore anywhere on Lake Superior, and make it an ASA class or just an unforgettable vacation. Bring your bikes on board, use our kayaks, paddleboard or dinghy in to find hidden coves. Contact us to customize your trip!
Trips are ideal for 4 people (up to max of 6) and include USCG captain, fuel, slip fees, water/ice, grill, dinghy with outboard and linens/towels. TSURU has 2 private cabins and 3 other berth options, as well as 2 bathrooms. One bathroom is private to the forward cabin and has a walk-in hot water shower. We offer provisioning services so everything is stocked when you arrive - contact us for more information. See FAQs for more details.
ASA 101-104 can be completed during the trip for $350/person per course.
