There’s still time to join us on a delightful sailing trip this season!
Here’s what one person texted us after 6 of her family came for a sail with us:
“My guests all woke up this morning still talking about the most exhilarating time of their lives.”
Five hours later she sent this message:
“They can’t stop exulting! Thank you. One person was very scared to go and almost backed out and now is so happy they didn’t. Now I can’t get them to settle down. Thanks again!”
Come see what all the fun is about! Go online or call to book your trip today.

We had a great time at the Les Cheneaux Wooden Boat Show despite the blustery winds. Approximately 500 people toured Schooner Huron Jewel between the scattered showers. And we’re taking home a new plaque.
Remember, folks, to make your dreams a reality! If we can build a schooner, you can make your dream happen.

And inquire about our trip Monday from Hessel to Drummond.

Thanks for the fun time Hessel Marina!
Monday we cast off from Drummond tho to Hessel to give two sea shanty concerts. On the way we passed by the Ferries and saw the freighter, Manitowoc, loading at the quarry.
At Hessel, the singing duo True Fact, composed of our deckhands, Sam and Diego, gave two fun concerts.
Tuesday was a low wind day so we hitched a ride with a friend and played tourist - we went to the Les Cheneaux Maritime Museum, which is a terrific museum about everything nautical!
After a great lunch at the Islander in Hessel we shopped at Pickle Point, and made a new friend - Tyler aboard Layla.
Julie tossed a line in and caught a pile but it wasn’t big enough to keep for dinner.
Later our friends on the Boy Scout ketch, Retriever, came in. And Diego and Sam got a tour.
If you missed us there’s still time this summer to see us in Hessel. We’ll be at the Les Cheneaux Wooden Boat show the second weekend in Aug.
in the meantime, we have trips available this weekend on Drummond so book a seat to go sailing so you don’t get left at the dock!

We’re excited that the musical duo, True Fact, with Diego Bermudez and Sam Thibeault, will be singing sea shanties at the Hessel Marina on Monday, July 29, and Tuesday, July 30 at 7:30 pm.
Please join us for this free lawn concert - bring a blanket or chair and sing along!

With a passion for all things nautical and historical, Diego and Sam both love singing sea shanties. As deckhands aboard Schooner Huron Jewel, they have been delighting passengers and will fill you with merriment at these two free lawn concerts at the Hessel Marina, Hessel, MI.

Learn songs of the Inland Seas and the daring adventures of the seafarers. *Of course, facts are supposed to be true but remember that as sailors we like to tell stories.*

These two fun-filled evenings will be packed with sea chanties and historical stories. Join in and learn these songs or just clap along. (And yes, if you have an instrument you want to bring to play along, bring it.)

An associated three-day, two-night cruise aboard Schooner Huron Jewel with the musical duo, True Fact, departs from Drummond the morning of July 29 for a cruise along Drummond's shoreline, the St Mary's River, and amongst the Les Cheneaux Islands. While you're aboard, you become part of the crew for the full tall ship experience—hoisting the sails, taking the helm, learning about navigation, and reading the wind. We return to Drummond on July 31.
