The 29’ beam allows plenty of space for up to 43 passengers to relax on the nets or sight see from the high and dry decks and seating areas. An on-board bar with specialty drinks, two restrooms and a friendly crew will make sailing with Nauti-Cat the highlight of your vacation. Snacks are complimentary on every cruise.

“WOW....This is a MUST do if you go to Traverse City”

Reviewed August 30, 2011

Our family (from 9 - 88 years young) visit TC every summer and stay on Long Lake. We have our favorite things to do, including Boone's Long Lake Inn, Visiting the Sleeping Bear Dunes, etc. Four years ago, we came across the Nauti-Cat and took sail....now it is mandatory for our annual visit. Most years, we have others that have... More

“Extremely loud music”

Reviewed July 19, 2011

This could have been a lovely ride: perfect wind, beautiful scenery, but it was ruined by 2 1/4 hours of very loud, terrible music. The captain didn't lower the volume, even though we complained twice. 2 1/4 hours of the Dave Mathews band screaming, with a loud drum banging sound. All of the songs sounded the same. More

I am sorry for the confusion that you misunderstood the Nauti-Cat is more of a party atmosphere. I had a full boat was trying to accommodate what the other 40 passengers expected and understood. I would like to offer you and your guest a free cruise with the understanding you now know what to expect. We did recommend the Tall... More

“After calling with questions, I don't want to go!”

07-18-11. Today I called to inquire about sunset cruise trips in late September. I asked if the boat sails in later September because there were no cruises listed on the website after 9-5. The person on the phone was terribly rude (maybe her name was Kaitlyn) and snotty, jumping to conclusions, not listening fully to my question and telling me... More

I apologize for any misunderstanding from one of my booth girls. At times between the heat (90+degrees) and the overwhelming popularity of the Nauti-Cat bookings she may have been short. This is no excuse and we take our jobs serious. I would like to offer you a pair of tickets for any cruise for your inconvenience. Please call Jack at... More

“Awesome time with friends”

Reviewed December 10, 2010

We have been on this cruise twice within two years. We had a BLAST both times! We made the most of it by visiting with other cruisers and the crew. The sunset was the best both times we cruised. Great activity in Grand Traverse Bay without having to worry about steering the boat!! We will definately go again! More

“Slow ride but was relaxing”

Reviewed October 1, 2010

We took the Champagne Sunset cruise. It was a romantic evening, the cruise was relaxing, and the sunset amazing. I had never been on a catamaran before and expected some speed, but the ride was slow and felt at times like we were floating, so I had to change my expectations. The Champagne toast was a nice touch! More

We are sorry to hear the speeds and winds were not quite what was expected, however we wish we could control the winds every time we go out on a cruise. Unfortunately we can not control nature so we are happy to know we had some awesome passengers on board that were able to adapt to the wind speed and... More

“Confusion with reservation; worked out in end; had a nice time.”

It took me an hour to use the coupon code on the website, which at the time was 2F1. If that doesn't work for you, to get the current code, just call and ask. This is a really great deal if it works. You might ask if it's possible to use the coupon by making a phone reservation or going... More
