We were 5 friends on our annual trip and we had the best time sailing with Mort. Everything was well communicated, him and his wife were super sweet, and the boat was beautiful.

We will absolutely sail with them again when we return to saugatuck and we have been recommending them to everyone. Thanks for an amazing sail, Mort!

We booked this for a bachelorette party and were supposed to leave at 8, when captain Sam didn't…read moreshow up by 8:30 we called and no one would answer. We finally got ahold of him and he said he wasn't told he was supposed to be there (which was a lie). He then showed up at 9 and we were pulled over by DNR at 9:30 and forced to go back because they couldn't provide proof of registration. Our captain Sam "forgot" to mention he had gotten pulled over by the same cops YESTERDAY. When we got back the cop who pulled us over informed us that they have pulled them over multiple times and they are fully aware that they are doing this illegally and on a watch list. We tried to confront Sam after talking to the cops and he ran to his car and left the property. We are currently trying to get a refund and they are not cooperating. DO NOT GIVE THEM SERVICE.

So, you didn't know this at least a day or two before?! They offered to process a refund, which I'd expect to be their minimum offering to fix the situation. I had to frantically call other boat rentals in town and line up a Plan B. I never heard from them until well after our event was supposed to start. They did provide a refund. I would never suggest this business.

The quaint town is the perfect way to begin. The boat house for check in was just as charming. The staff and captain offered lovely hospitality. We called last minute for tickets and the woman on the phone was so helpful. The captain was not only knowledgeable but had a wicked sense of humor too. I love that you are assigned a specific table. It was so comfortable and felt like a dinner show. The vessel was clean and in perfect shape. The tour itself offered a beautiful view of the town, new and old homes, a beach and Lake Michigan. We even saw an eagle's nest with cute little babies. I didn't want it to end.

They ran out of food for the 'dinner' when they were given a head count at least a week before. And the drink prices were very inconsistent. We even had to argue to get the included beverage that came with the dinner. They say the boat holds 80 persons, yet would only allow 20 on the upper deck. I don't see how the lower deck would hold 60. We cruised south for about 45 minutes then headed back toward the pier heads and proceeded to idle in front of them for 15 min until we asked why we were not "cruising" since that's what we paid for. If you are considering this for a group event, I urge you to not have high expectations. As all the guests did enjoy the cruise, they could have experienced much better customer service and felt like they at least got their $$ worth.

My favorite is playing tennis with my husband. I've never played softball here because I don't hang out with many people but I enjoy everything else. Lots of space to just enjoy the outdoors. I highly suggest a picnic.
