📍Detroit Dock | Public Tours Every Weekend

Detroit — where grit meets skyline, and the river keeps the city moving.

There’s just something about this place.

The calm after the storm. There’s something special about the view from the dock when the rain clears — the river feels fresh, the city shines a little brighter, and the sky puts on a show.

We’ll be here when the sun comes back out.

Summer views like no other ☀️🌆
There’s just something about seeing the city from the water—Detroit shines brightest from the river. Come aboard and soak it all in.

There’s something awe-inspiring about seeing the American Courage glide through the water massive, steady, and built for the long haul. She is a self-unloading freighter and a true workhorse of the waterways, carrying everything from iron ore to limestone.
