Set Sail for Tawas Bay’s Heritage Coast Sail Days
Step on board this May, and step into a different world for the Heritage Coast Sail Days, a two-month period when the schooner Appledore V makes port in East Tawas. The steel hulled Gaff rigged schooner was once the crown jewel of Great Lakes navigation and represents the rich maritime heritage of the Great Lakes Region for Michigan. The exciting day out on the waters of Tawas Bay offer all kinds of types of sails throughout the afternoon and evening. It’s the sailing experience you’ve always dreamed of. Choose between an educational cruise that allows you to participate and learn a new skill, or just relax with your special someone as the hull slices through the waves.
The Boathouse Dinner and Sail may be the best option for couples seeking to chow down and then kick back on their private getaway. Enjoy dinner at one of the Tawas area’s premier restaurants at the Boathouse Beer Co. & Boozery for some delicious cocktails, entrees such as filet mignon and wild-caught sockeye salmon, a lovely view of Tawas Bay, and casual dining with an upscale flare. Not to mention the sail on Appledore V as the sun sets! Tickets are $60 each and include dinner, gratuity, and a two-hour sail on Tawas Bay. Dinner runs 5 PM to 6:15 PM and the Tawas Bay Day Sail is from 7-9 PM. Visit Boathouse Dinner and Sail to purchase tickets.
Traveling with a group of friends? Then booking a private charter sail may be the best option, especially for larger groups. The Appledore V can accommodate 24 passengers. It’s an inventive and fun way to celebrate all kinds of life events from birthdays and graduations to weddings or corporate team buildings events.
Get in touch with your creative side on an Art on the Bay sail. As you sail through the waters of Tawas Bay, let your inner artist come forth for an incredible painting experience on Lake Huron. Hosted by various artists from the local area, this casual painting course will make some memories and you’ll be able to take home your very own painting when you get back on land.
