Had a terrible experience yesterday. We took the ferry to go to Mt Baldtop, noting the ferry closed at 3 pm so we made sure to make it back before it closed, Our bikes were locked in downtown Saugatuck. We returned to the ferry to go back at 245 pm and at that point we saw the ferry staff walking away from the ferry to the nearby building. Surely they would come back, right? More people gathered waiting to return, and there were six of us, confused why it had stopped prior to its posted closing time at 3 pm. Then we saw a ferry worker come back and go onto the boat. Nice, they are returning.. after we waved to him, yelled for his attention, he finally acknowledged us, said sorry, he couldn't come get us (mind you, it was 'still' before 3 pm, and the whole thing would have taken just minutes) I called the number of the place that runs the ferry and they said 'sorry they closed a a couple minutes early because they didn't see anybody' - They didn't close a couple of minutes early, they closed 15 minutes early, and they did see us, even yelled back to us (finally) but said they wouldn't come get us. Getting lied to that 'they didn't see us' and 'they closed a few minute early' when they closed 15 minutes early, on a beautiful sunny weekend day, even though he saw us before 3 pm. Yes there is other transportation back, but it cost us a big chunk of time and left us with a bitter taste in our mouth about this amazing city. read more
