BaySail is a private non-profit organization focused on environmental stewardship of the Saginaw Bay and the Great Lakes. It operates two schooners, the Appledore IV and Appledore V, to provide shipboard experiences that support science education for K-12 groups, as well as overnight voyaging for youth and adults, public sails, charters, group tours, and port visits. By offering hands-on learning and experiential sailing programs, the organization aims to engage participants with maritime heritage and ecological awareness in a structured, educational setting. Based in Bay City, Michigan, BaySail serves audiences within the maritime transportation and environmental education space, leveraging its ship-based programs to reach students, families, and community groups. The organization operates as a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit, coordinating volunteering effort and program delivery to advance its mission of promoting environmental stewardship of the local watershed and the broader Great Lakes ecosystem.
