About Break'n Waves
Break'n Waves is a long-established watersports rental company on the shores of East Grand Traverse Bay, operating from 1469 N US Highway 31 in Traverse City. They've been putting visitors on the water for years, offering one of the widest selections of watercraft rentals in the region — from powerboats and jet skis to sailboats and paddlecraft.
Their fleet includes pontoon boats, bowrider speedboats, jet skis, sailboats, kayaks, and paddleboards. They also offer parasailing flights for aerial views of Grand Traverse Bay. Rentals are available by the hour, half-day, or full day, and their staff provides thorough orientation so even first-time boaters feel confident on the water. Group packages and multi-craft combos are available for larger parties.
Break'n Waves stands out for their sailboat rental program — one of the few in the area offering self-skippered sailing on the bay. Combined with their convenient waterfront location and flexible scheduling, they're a solid choice for families and groups wanting variety without visiting multiple rental shops.
