2021 Season Update: 

Discovery World has gone through extensive planning regarding the feasibility of conducting a sailing season for the S/V Denis Sullivan in 2021.  While Discovery World continues to remain positive at the outlook for a future return to the water, it has been decided that the S/V Denis Sullivan will not sail in 2021.  This was a difficult decision for the organization, but ultimately was done in the best interest of the health and safety of the crew and participants, while mitigating financial risk for the organization.  The vessel will return to the docks at Discovery World this spring for ongoing maintenance throughout 2021 in preparation for the 2022 sailing season.

A Private, 2-hour Charter Sail on the S/V Denis Sullivan offers an environment that no other venue can match.

As a captivating and impressive platform to network, express gratitude, celebrate or simply socialize, the experience offers a peaceful setting on Lake Michigan and a quiet sail on the world’s only traditional Great Lakes schooner.

While aboard, you and your guests will be able to participate in raising sail, take a turn at the helm, tack through the wind, learn something new, or simply relax, unwind and sail! Take your guests into an environment surrounded by water, where the benefits of working together truly sail you home to safety. Charters are a great option for team-building events, employee appreciation events, weddings, vow renewals, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

There is a 50 person maximum limit per charter. Any bartender, caterer, or other vendor on-board would count toward this 50 person limit.

2-Hour Charters begin at $3,000. Additional fees apply for Beer and Wine Options.
