Our cruise with Sunshine Charters was a highlight during a late summer trip up north…read more We booked a late morning cruise, and boarded the yacht with the friendliest crew before heading to Lake Charlevoix. They unfurled the sailed and we enjoyed the sunny and breezy day before heading over to Lake Michigan, passing under the drawbridge as we went. Lake Michigan was choppy, but I never felt uncomfortable being out on the sailing yacht throughout. Bathrooms were clean, cold (non-alcoholic) drinks were a-plenty, and there was even a fun space for kiddo to make a fort with the cushions to stay amused. Would highly recommend booking a trip if you get the chance!

We took part in the 11:30-1:30 sail on a beautiful Sunday. Captain Blair and mates Chase and Judy…read morewere lovely. There were about 25 folks on the boat and everyone had plenty of room. The sail is exactly as explained in the description. We went around Round Lake, then out to Lake Charlevoix, then under the drawbridge and out to Lake Michigan for about 15 minutes. They played good music and offered water and soda. It was a very enjoyable experience. My only suggestion would be for the crew to give more information about Charlevoix and the lakes. We like to learn about the area we are visiting! And it's okay to suggest tipping. I noticed most folks did not, which is a shame.

This was a Michigan Bucket List adventure for us! We both love breweries and going on adventures. If I set my mind to something, trust me, I will make it happen. Last year, I found out about Beaver Island and a little brewery located on it. Of course, I had to get there! lol I shared my findings with Partner In Crime and guess what....we chartered a flight to the island with Fresh Air! Wow!!! What an amazing experience! This company was so helpful and provided us with useful information about the island. The entire experience was top notch, the pilot was very experienced, and the flight over...stunningly beautiful. Thank you Fresh Air for making our dream a reality!

From the moment I called the great folks at this lovely airline it was the start of a chain reaction of amazing experiences. I'll be looking for excuses to fly with them again, if only all air travel were this great The owners and staff at each step from my confusion about anything Beaver Island (first visit) to scheduling, fares, parking arrangements, type of plane, weights, return travel (I wanted to take the ferry back as a part of my experience and they were so helpful in guiding me through things, genuinely great people) and even gave me many amazing suggestions and recommendations that were spot on. The entire team was friendly accommodating, had a sense of humor, and professional. The views were spectacular, the other passengers (they have great clients too, also locals, residents and regulars Likes attract Likes, right), and the pilot, despite how crazy busy they were, was enjoying himself and the gorgeous day, I can't say I blame him thanks to the folks here I have fallen in love with these little planes (they proved to me there was nothing to be nervous about, talk about a 360) and will find another excuse to take this airline around their service area. I also found out that I'm more impatient than I thought and the almost 3 hours boat ride back versus the views and thrill of the brief plane ride can't compare. They gave me 3 more hours to explore than I would've had otherwise to experience the island. I don't think I'll ever take the ferry again, I'm sold on this place and the all around experience and customer service you get.

Everyone stood in an unmoving line and whoever was next in line got that table. So there was no option to walk around. We were given a noticeably dirty water glass. They put the 'slim' in their Slim Jim, and the smoked brisket sandwich had such little meat, it tasted like roast beef, was fatty, and the horsey aioli just tasted like plain mayo. Fine if you are desperate but don't expect much.
