Captain Rich puts your safety and comfort level first and foremost. If there is any chance of adverse, unsafe weather or lake conditions, S/V Third Coast will not leave port, and you will receive a full refund. If wave conditions are from over two feet to four feet, the Captain will give you the option to reschedule.


What We Provide For You: Our Sailing Vessel 'Third Coast' is a well built, safe, extremely clean, sturdy yet quick and responsive sailboat. Third Coast takes the waves and weather very well, and is a very easily sailed vessel, and a great sailboat to learn to sail on.

She is very well equipped with many updated safety features, new electronics, new stereo system; new sailing rigging, and brand new Doyle Sails. USCG Type I Offshore Survival Jackets with attached strobe lights are provided for every adult passenger, as well as two youth sized Type I jackets with lights. We also have an assortment of swimming rafts for your use.

There is a head (restroom for the landlubbers), galley, ice box with ice, and running water aboard.

S/V Third Coast meets or exceeds all U.S. Coast Guard sail chartering guidelines and requirements, and (move word 'annually' as indicated) is inspected and certified annually to meet stringent standards to be a Great Lakes sailing charter vessel by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
