About
At 47’, the Nauti-Cat cuts through the water with a smooth, comfortable sail that first time sailors and longtime sail enthusiasts will enjoy. The 29’ beam allows plenty of space for up to 49 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.

We had a really great time on the Nauti Cat for our first wedding anniversary. We have never be on it before this weekend. The only thing we would suggest is having a themed cruises. Like LGBTQ night, millennial night, parent/children night and ect. We really enjoyed ourselves and will be back again with our children and friends!

We really enjoyed our Happy Hour cruise with Nauti-Cat during our recent trip to Traverse City. Definitely the most reasonably priced option I found while researching our options to get out on the water. Two hours was just enough and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I got chilly and the captain offered me a jacket and extra blankets to stay warm. Above and beyond.

Wonderful evening on the Nauti-Cat !! It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary and it was the perfect weather for the Sunset Cruise. The crew was wonderful - the drinks were delicious and everyone was so friendly. I would recommend this cruise to everyone. I would book this cruise again!!!

This was our first time on the Nauticat and it won't be our last! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to take a fun sail around Grand Traverse Bay.

I go every year, always a good time. 2 hours is perfect, not too long and not too short. The catnip is wonderful .

We have been on the Nauticat many times before as it's a summer tradition for us living here in Traverse City but this was the first time taking our kids (3 & 6). We did the noon cruise. My kids had so much fun laying on the net and just dancing around to the music. They even got to take the wheel as we headed back. It was a great family day out on the bay and would highly recommend.

Great cruise. Very relaxing. Good drinks, great atmosphere, friendly crew. They even had blankets if needed. We did the moon cruise and enjoyed it so much we were hoping to do the sunset cruise as well.

My husband and I went on the sunset champagne cruise recently. It was a little chilly but still worth it!

Is the boat handicap accessible?

Unfortunately, I would say no. Give them a call. Maybe they have the service to accommodate you. It's worth a call.
I have an ESA animal (mini schnauzer). Am I able to bring him on my cruise? He is well behaved and sits.

When do they usually start selling tickets for the summer cruises?

Considering the "Noon Cruise", and I see it is 2-1/2 hours long. Five adults (two middle agers and three college/post college). Will we get bored after an hour? Is there much to see or mostly water and trees? Do they play music on the noon cruise (not live)?

The sunset cruise is 35.00. Is that the price for all cruises? And can you get tickets and it would be good for anytime?

The prices vary on the different cruise times. The ticket you get is for that cruise time and I believe for that specific day. They all have different advantages, depending what you are looking for. Ask the co. That sells them. They can give you specifics.

I purchased my tickets through Up North Deals that is sponsored through one of our local TV news channel. And yes I would recommend getting tickets in advance. Cause the owner of the boat was telling us that we picked a good time in June cause they are filling up fast with the Cherry Festival coming. The people who own this company are so accommodating cause I use a wheelchair and they had us get on before the rest of the people.
