"Captain Gerry made this experience so fun! We took a three hour tour of the bay. The boat was immaculate, the Captain was an amazing host. And I enjoyed my first sailing lesson. He has an amazing story. We will definitely do this again."

"what an absolutely amazing excursion! i had the privilege of going on a charter with Captain Gerry, and i can't emphasize enough how truly great the experience was. Captain Gerry's wealth of knowledge and wisdom made it unforgettable adventure. The memories gained from this will stay with me forever. If you're looking for a remarkable sailing experience led by a captain who is not only skilled but also incredibly fun, Captain Gerry is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend this charter to anyone!! Thank you, Captain Gerry, for an exceptional journey!"

"We had an absolute blast sailing with Gerry. We sailed for 3 hours and covered ~16 nautical miles. Capt Ger cares about his guests. He helped my wife overcome her fear of becoming seasick. Gerry also was great with our three young boys. He taught them nautical terms, told them jokes, and even played his guitar for us. You will not meet a more genuine human."

"On our July 2023 trip to Traverse City we wanted to find a unique, fun, and memorable experience. Our sailing excursion with Seaside Sailing and Captain Ger definitely hit the mark. My wife, two sons (9 and 6) and I loved the new experience and the pristine ship. Captain Ger gave us great explanations of the boat itself, the instruments, techniques, and the "whys" of sailing. Getting a chance to drive the ship was a highlight for all 4 of us. Honestly cannot recommend this highly enough for families, groups of friends, or anyone who wants to experience something new!"

"Experience of a lifetime for me and my family! It was pure magic, Captain Ger is amazing and he really is what made this sailboat excursion so special. It was safe, fun, family friendly, amazing conversations and the most relaxing and exciting part of our vacation up North. Another perk is a portion of the cost will go towards helping Captain Ger taking underprivileged children in the area out on the water to experience sailing. If you have a family and are looking for a one of kind experience on the water this is the only charter to take!"
