Star of Saugatuck is the local version of a short pleasure cruise familiar in many river towns …read more Here, you put a two-deck sightseeing vessel on the Kalamazoo River, run people up and down looking at sights, and, if the weather is good, you wow them with a spin on Lake Michigan. The staff seems very competent, and our trip - with seats reserved in a shaded portion of the upper deck - was very good. A couple factors contributed to making the experience less satisfying than I preferred. First - and admittedly knowing nothing about the costs of this business model - I notice that pricing seemed significantly higher compared to similar cruises in other places I've visited. Second, and a real downer for suburbanite John H., Saugatuck street parking on a summer weekend is a nightmare comparable to a large city. You might prefer to find the interurban shuttle or arrange a dropoff to ease the stress. After all, a boat ride like this is supposed to fun, right?

This was such a fun experience! We had a group of nine and rented a donut boat for two hours. The…read morestaff were friendly and knowledgeable. They made us feel welcome! The staff prepare a cooler for you that you can fill w drinks and snacks purchased from their shop. They had a great selection of beer, wine, prosecco, sodas, juices etc. They also had ice cream. The staff was helpful in explaining how to work the boat and gave us a speaker for music. Our group had a blast! We went in the evening and stayed out until around sunset. The donut boat was easy to operate. You sit in a circle with a circle table in the middle. Everyone in our group had so much fun! The circle set up was great for talking, laughing and socializing! I would love to rent one of the adorable retro boats next time! This is a must do in Saugatuck!

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. I found Sweetwater through some extensive internet research and I was so pleased when I did because not only were their prices some of the most affordable but the reviews were some of the best. 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!
