01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Detroit Charter Company takes guests onto the Detroit River from the Port Authority's Riverwalk Dock downtown. Its flagship is HYDRA, a USCG-certified sailing yacht for 38 passengers, running brunch cruises, sunset sails, after-dark skyline sails, wine on the water and fireworks sails, plus weddings, corporate team-building and memorials at sea. Racers can book TRIDENT, a Santa Cruz 70, for managed charters in the Great Lakes' big Mackinac races.
