Detroit Charter Company

Overview

Detroit Charter Company delivers professionally managed, on-water experiences aboard a unique fleet of sailing and power vessels on the Detroit River and throughout the Great Lakes. Our focus is simple: combine exceptional boats, an experienced crew, and thoughtful hospitality to create memorable experiences for every guest.

Our fleet includes HYDRA, a USCG-certified 38-passenger sailing yacht for brunch cruises, sunset sails, and private events; TRIDENT, a high-performance Santa Cruz 70 offering managed racing charters at premier Great Lakes regattas; and Zodiac RIB charters for small-group, high-energy on-water experiences. Each program is designed and operated with safety, professionalism, and attention to detail at the forefront.

We work closely with yacht clubs, corporate partners, event planners, and hospitality professionals to deliver experiences that feel polished, relaxed, and well executed. Whether hosting a corporate outing, celebrating a special occasion, competing in a major race, or exploring the river with a small group, our team takes pride in providing seamless service and a welcoming
onboard environment.

At Detroit Charter Company, we believe time on the water should feel effortless. From the moment guests arrive on the vessel to docking at the end of your voyage, our goal is to create an experience that reflects the character of Detroit, the beauty of the Great Lakes, and the standards expected of a professional charter operation.
