Discover the Secrets of Door County's Shoreline

Experience a Door County summer day sailing on the classic 1930's sailing yacht Talisman. Chosen "Best of Show" at the Door County Maritime Museum's "Classic and Wooden Boat Show."

Join Captain John for a sail aboard Talisman, one of Door County's best known boats. Daily charters depart from the dock of Robertson's Cottages at Idlewild.

A sail on Talisman is designed not only to provide you with a scenic tour and the opportunity to view magnificent Door County from the water, but also the adventure of a unique sailing experience on a beautifully restored 1930's classic yacht. In my many decades of sailing I have found the time frame of 4 hours from the time of departure from the dock to the time of return to the dock to be just the right amount of time to provide a great sailing experience for all who sail with me.. Talisman sails daily by reservation only with flexible departure times. Whether you choose to do an early afternoon sail during the warmest part of the day when the winds are typically best and the sun is high in the sky, or a late afternoon to evening sail to view a beautiful Door County sunset, I know you will find a sail aboard Talisman to be a wonderful experience you will always remember.
