3 Myths About Sailing on Lake Michigan

Sailing on Lake Michigan can be a beautiful experience, however it can also come with its own unique challenges due to its size and unpredictable weather patterns. Here at GT Sailing, we have the experience and passion for what it takes to sail Lake Michigan and have chartered countless explorers on our boats.

In this month’s blog, we’re debunking three myths about sailing in Lake Michigan, so you step aboard with confidence and focus for the journey ahead.

Lake Michigan is Just Like Sailing Any Other Lake

With more than 22,000 square miles of water, Lake Michigan behaves more like an inland sea than a typical lake. Waves can build quickly, wind directions can shift without warning, and conditions can change in a matter of minutes.

Our crew is trained to anticipate and adapt to these shifts, ensuring both safety and comfort during your charter sailing trip.

You Need Years of Experience to Enjoy Sailing

You don’t need to be an expert sailor to make the most out of Lake Michigan. Whether your brand new to sailing or looking to sharpen your skills, our charters cater to all experience levels.

We handle the navigation and sails so you can simply relax, take in the view, and enjoy the open water.

It’s Only Worth Sailing in the Summer

While summer is popular for its warm breezes, other seasons bring their own charm. Spring offers crisp air and fresh scenery, while fall showcases vibrant shoreline colors and fewer crowds.

Each season is worth experiencing and we can help you pick a perfect time to fulfill your trip goals.
