If you are visiting & want things to do in Northern MI as a new and wonderful experience for the whole family consider a glass bottom boat ride. We are here in Cheboygan, just 20 minutes from Mackinaw City, Mich.

One of the top things to do in Cheboygan MI is our shipwrecked tour. Come join us on our newly crafted 36 foot glass bottom boat. Our educational, historical, and scenic offerings include our 1.5 hour professionally guided shipwreck tour traversing down the Inland Waterway, past three lighthouses and out into the majestic Lake Huron. We then travel to Duncan Bay, where passengers receive narrative rich in the history of the shipwrecks and Great Lakes, as well as stunning views through the glass bottom of the Yankee Sunshine. If you’re feeling adventurous, we even offer daily snorkeling over one of our oldest wrecks! Of the shipwreck boat tours Michigan has to offer, Nautical North Family Adventures delivers a phenomenal personalized family experience.

We also offer an educational and historical Cheboygan River Tour where you can enjoy a leisurely ride up the Cheboygan River through the lock and dam system. Bring your friends, refreshments, and settle in to enjoy Northern Michigan in a unique way. We can go up the Inland Waterway system all the way to the Black River. Just give us a call to design your unique Inland Waterway charter!

If you prefer the privacy of your own tour, both of these tours are available as private charters, or you can build your own trip! From two to 28 guests, we accommodate your needs as requested! Families, corporations, couples, birthdays, anniversaries, organizations - we’ve even done a unique engagement on board. Call us to discuss your ideas.

Lighthouse lovers, you now have the ability to get out to those far off Lake Huron and Lake Michigan lighthouses! We offer private charters to most of the Northern Michigan lighthouses aboard our 6-passenger vessel. See as many as you like, call to arrange your itinerary.

If you are scuba certified, come join us aboard the Huron Explorer! Our 6-passenger vessel takes groups over the wrecks two times daily. We frequent world class shipwrecks ranging in depths appropriate for open water certified divers all the way to technical depths. Come see what Northern Michigan scuba diving has to offer!
