"An authentic restoration of a historic water taxi that offers a leisurely, hour-long cruise around Little Traverse Bay at about 5 miles per hour, with open-sided breezes and onboard storytelling from the captain and first mate about grand waterfront cottages, the bay’s lumber-and-fur-trading history and local lake facts (the bay reaches roughly 170 feet at its deepest and warms to about 69°F in summer). Tours are run from a private dock associated with a nearby waterfront restaurant." - Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong is a San Francisco-based journalist who focuses on food, design, and travel.
