Operating out of Bay Harbor Lake Marina, Ports-North Yacht Charters is dedicated to providing an unforgettable experience on Northern Michigan's stunning waters. Our mission is to deliver a personalized yacht charter for your private party with a licensed professional captain to ensure your on water experience is unforgettable!
Perhaps its due to weather or the type of event you want to host, you can enjoy Ports-North without ever leaving the dock! Depending on your needs we can host up to 12 dockside.
We can take a group of up to six out on the water. What if you want your event, or part of it, to include more people? Contact us about a dockside "cruise".... and maybe get out on the water with part of the group before or after!
Perhaps you are hosting your church group or civic club, or the executive committee of the board of trustees, and want a unique space, or maybe you are doing a team building retreat... We can host your group meeting on board! Contact us about your meeting needs.... and let us know if you need a professional facilitator!
Birthday? Wedding shower? Groomsmen or bridesmaids? We can certainly host your group of up to six on the water... but if you've got a larger party you might consider a dockside "cruise". Imagine just the mom's and bride, and the groom and dads joining in, and leaving the party after the celebration by yacht.
We've given a few examples of our dockside party capabilities. What group do YOU want to host dockside? How creative can YOU be? Let's plan it!
Pretty much ANYONE!
All of our cruises are for your party of up to 6 only... Private!
Children 6 and older are welcome with their parents or grandparents. If you are cruising with children please contact us ahead of time so we can share some of our knowledge, learn a bit about your kids, and all be prepared for a safe and fun experience.
Also, if you have a condition that might require medication while on board, or if you may need special assistance boarding, or any other special request we want to hear from you before your cruise.
Make your payment quickly and securely. Use our online payment portal to settle your charter bill. Enjoy hassle-free transactions and get ready for your unforgettable experience on the water with Ports-North Yacht Charter.
I have been on the waters of Northern Michigan for over 50 years and have captained vessels from 14 - 44 feet. It's a pleasure to share the beauty of my home waters with visitors and guests. Whether you are experiencing your very first boat ride or are an "old salt" who has been out many times, I will make your cruise a special experience! From then on you'll be part of the Ports-North Family. See you on the water!
We operate a 42' Ocean Alexander. This classic yacht is known for her quality and craftsmanship, her stability on the water, and her safe & reliable service. She is powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 engines making 375 hp each. Her salon (the indoors) is spacious and comfortable appointed in rich woodwork throughout, her cockpit (the back porch) has a teak sole and is plenty of space to gather and to enjoy your time on the water. Ask your captain about exploring the view from the fly bridge... it is spectacular!
