We are excited and proud to be located at the Discovery Center Great Lakes and we’re looking forward to a fantastic season to celebrate our 25th year of sailing on Grand Traverse Bay. Our new office is just north of our old location on M-22, right across the road from what long-time residents will know as the “Coal Dock”.
