Full Moonrise Sailing · Lake St. Clair
Follow the moonlight across the water.
Watch the full moon rise over Lake St. Clair during an elegant, captain-led sailing experience from Harrison Township—created for beautiful views, meaningful conversation, and a night you will remember.
Nothing is more beautiful than the full moon reflecting across the lake.
An evening beyond the ordinary
See Lake St. Clair in a different light.
Leave the shoreline behind aboard our well-equipped 30-foot Catalina sailboat. As daylight fades, the lake settles into deep blue and the moon begins to draw a silver path across the water.
No sailing experience is required. Your US Coast Guard-licensed captain manages the vessel, allowing you to relax, take photographs, and enjoy the evening with friends, family, or someone special.

From twilight to moonlight.
Every sail unfolds according to the moon, weather, and conditions on Lake St. Clair. That is part of what makes each evening feel entirely its own.
Leave the marina behind

Enjoy the moment the full moon clears the horizon and its reflection stretches across the open water.
