Nauti Cat Cruises

Outdoor Recreation · Traverse City, MI

Captain Mike Haviland started Nauti-Cat Cruises in 2003 with a simple dream: sharing his love of Grand Traverse Bay from the deck of a sailing catamaran. What began as weekend trips for friends has grown into Traverse City's most beloved sailing adventure. The stable twin-hull design means even landlubbers feel comfortable as they glide across crystal-clear waters. Mike's crew knows every hidden cove and can spot bald eagles from a mile away. These aren't just boat rides—they're floating stories about the bay's maritime history, complete with local legends and insider knowledge about the shoreline's best-kept secrets.
