Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a landlubber fascinated by the beauty of sailing, we can provide you with a memorable sailing experience on Lake Michigan. Captain Dale Fitch is licensed by the US Coast Guard and is an ASA certified sailing instructor. Captain Dale has over thirty years sailing experience on Lake Michigan. You will sail on Freedom, a Hunter Legend 37.5 equipped with modern navigation and safety equipment. You are invited to participate in the sailing, or just sit back and enjoy the sail.
We are located in the Ludington Municipal Marina at the corner of William and Loomis Streets in downtown Ludington. Parking is available in the area, the entrance to the marina is on your right as you proceed south on William Street.
We offer three hour, half-day charters departing at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. You are welcome to bring snacks and the beverage of your choice. We also offer full-day charters departing at 9:30 a.m. and returning at 4:00 p.m. Light lunch and soft drinks are provided for full-day charters. You may also prearrange special meals for full-day charters.
We also offer sunset cruises of approximately two and a half hours in duration, with departures scheduled for approximately 6:45 p.m. Departure times will be adjusted for seasonal fluctuations in the time of sunset. You are welcome to bring snacks and the beverage of your choice.
We can schedule special events such as dinner cruises, group outings, or cruises to watch the Chicago to Mackinac racers go by, so contact us if you would like to make arrangements for a special outing.
We can accommodate up to six adult guests, and advance reservations are encouraged. A fifty per cent deposit will reserve your charter, and deposits will be fully refunded upon 36 hours advance cancellation. No shows will be charged the full deposit.

Sailing has taught us to be flexible, so if you want to make special arrangements for a charter or additional dietary offerings, please contact us. We can offer various beverages and soft drinks, but state laws prohibit us from furnishing alcoholic beverages. Guests may bring their own beverages for consumption. Please discuss any special requests that you may have when you book your charter.
