Private charter to & from Traverse City

Traverse City is the hub of northern Michigan, set at the base of Grand Traverse Bay and surrounded by cherry orchards, vineyards and some of the clearest water in the Great Lakes. It calls itself the Cherry Capital of the World, and the Old Mission and Leelanau peninsulas have become one of the Midwest’s most respected wine regions. Tourism, second homes and hospitality drive much of the economy, along with healthcare, agriculture and a growing community of entrepreneurs and remote workers drawn by the lifestyle.

Traverse City is a long drive from almost everywhere: about four hours from Detroit and five or more from Chicago, and summer traffic on two-lane roads adds to the trip. Cherry Capital Airport is just a few minutes from downtown and the bay, so a private flight lets you arrive Friday afternoon and spend the weekend on the water instead of in the car. Visitors come to climb the dunes at Sleeping Bear, tour wineries on the peninsulas, sail and paddle the bay, eat at downtown restaurants along Front Street and explore Leelanau villages such as Leland and Glen Arbor.
