WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT TRUE NORTH SAILING
Our experience was amazing! Very relaxing! Captain Abe was very knowledgeable and even let us help him during our sailing tour. We would definitely recommend them to everyone!
It was a very pleasant time. Dusty was so helpful. The boat was in great shape. I could not have asked for anything more.
Our family of four enjoyed our sail outing tremendously. The skipper is kind and helpful, the lake and islands are beautiful, and sailing is too fun. Half of us helped crew the boat, and half of us just sat back and took it all in. Highly recommend.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF ADVENTURE
Step aboard one of our sailing yachts and feel the outside world melt away. Close your eyes. Feel the sun on your face. Breathe in the fresh Lake Superior air. Listen to the wind fill the sails and feel the waves slap against the hull.
