ABOUT THE BOAT Once the boat leaves the dock, you’ll feel your everyday life and cares slip away. Named for the Greek god of wind, Aeolos I, and also for a boat of that name which her owners have chartered out of Athens, Greece, Aeolos is 32’7” of fun. She is a stable and comfortable boat with a spacious cockpit and cabin. The main cabin is well lit and ventilated. The aft cabin has four opening ports and a berth larger than a queen size bed. You’ll find hot and cold running water, a refrigerator, propane stove, private head (toilet), and all required safety equipment on board.
SAIL
AWAY... Sit back and relax or lend a hand and
learn the ropes if you’d like. Our goal is to provide you
with a friendly, casual, and relaxing excursion. Along the
way we’ll be glad to share our knowledge of local history
and introduce you to some of our favorite landmarks.
Your itinerary will vary according to your interests and current weather conditions and may include:
A cruise along the North Shore ~ take a peek at London Road mansions, Lake Superior’s rocky shoreline, and the mouths of the Lester, French, Talmadge, and Knife rivers.
A triangle course, from Duluth out under the Aerial Lift Bridge, up the North Shore, over to Superior, WI, and back.
A harbor cruise, with a closer look at
landmarks from the past and present, grain elevators, iron
ore and coal docks, Great Lakes freighters, foreign ships
and tugs.
A typical cruise on Aeolos will begin with:
An orientation to the vessel.
Safety instructions.**
A time to consider special needs or requests
**It is important that you
listen to and follow instructions from your captain and/or
first mate while on board Aeolos. We do not assume liability
for personal injury or death. You must sign a release form
and go at your own risk.
SAIL
WITH CONFIDENCE Aeolos is equipped with all US Coast
Guard required safety equipment. Your captain has over 30
years of sailing experience, is licensed by the USCG and
certified in first aid and CPR.

DEPOSITS 50% of the charter fee is required to hold an advance reservation. The balance is due upon check-in.
Credit card payment or cash is most convenient. If you pay by check, your reservation will be held for 5 days pending receipt of your check. Time must also be allowed for your check to clear the bank. Sending a certified check or money order will speed up that process.
A full refund of your deposit will be given with 10 days notice or in the case of foul weather (Captain's discretion). If you choose to cancel after the 10 day mark, a 50% refund will be given.
OTHER DETAILS Please wear soft shoes with non-marking soles.
The weather can change quickly on Lake Superior, so be sure to bring clothing and outerwear sufficient for both hot and cold temps. Sunglasses and sunscreen are also a good idea.
If you’re unsure of your “sea stomach”, bring along a supply of motion sickness medications just in case. Check with your pharmacist to find out what works best.
Please bring your own snacks and beverages. Aeolos has a galley equipped with running water and a refrigerator.
For your comfort there is a toilet and sink in the “head”.
