Private Boat Cruise Beneath the Sleeping Giant & Sea Caves

A private charter out onto Lake Superior for close-up views of the Sleeping Giant's sheer cliffs and the sea caves along the Nor'Wester range from the water.

What to expect

You depart Thunder Bay's marina and sail out onto the world's largest freshwater lake, tracing the base of the Sleeping Giant formation and threading past dramatic sea caves and basalt cliffs. Your captain, a longtime Superior sailor, shares the lake's shipwreck history and points out bald eagles and loons along the shoreline. Depending on wind, you may raise sail for a stretch of quiet, engine-off sailing.
