Four Day
Flotilla Vacations for Families, Groups, Friends & Individuals
Northern Breezes is pleased to offer a new way to share the fun
of cruising with fellow sailors on Lake Superior, the Cruising
Flotilla. Are you an experienced bareboat skipper? Then set sail
on a custom yacht of your choosing. You will be accompanied by a
lead boat with a professional captain, technician and host from
Northern Breezes. The lead boat will act as your event
organizer, guide and support team.
Are you new to sailing or lacking a full crew? Join the crew of
the lead boat or another boat captained by a U.S. Coast
Guard-licensed Captain. This four day adventure will include a
fun mix of organized and informal activities including skipper
briefings each morning, dining aboard and dining onshore.
Explore the wilderness beauty of Lake Superior’s pristine
beaches, unique communities and remote harbors. Enjoy a night
sail!
Apostle Islands Flotillas
Join our flotilla of sailboats that will explore the pristine
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. The Apostle Islands includes
21 islands and 12 miles of mainland shoreline. These beautiful,
uninhabited islands offer deep, clear water, excellent
anchorages., expansive sand beaches, shipwrecks, sea caves,
rugged shorelines and the largest collection of historic
lighthouses in the USA.. Many of the islands have docks
constructed by the National Park Service, which are available
for day or overnight use. Sailing amongst the sheltered islands
is a pleasure, but can also be challenging as the wind twists
through the maze of islands. Weather and time permitting, other
possible destinations include Cornucopia, Wisconsin, Silver Bay,
Minnesota and Black River Harbor, Michigan. Lake Superior is
known as the “Caribbean of the North” and this region offers
some the world's best sailing for
novice to expert sailors.
Boats: Our skippered boats include a 38'
cruising catamaran and three 34-36 foot monohulls. Those owning
their own boats or chartering a boat may join the Flotilla for a
fee.
