    First time in Saugatuck and we were looking for some things to do on the water. I saw the ad for…read moreRetro Boats, so we decided to make a reservation. We chose "Ruby" and a time for 11:30 am. The reservation process was very easy and we were even able to take our little dog on the boat with us! The 3 of us enjoyed a nice, relaxing ride with pretty scenery and beautiful weather. The employees are friendly and helpful and gave us easy to follow instructions. The ride takes about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish. The boat does not go much over 5 mph and is pretty easy to maneuver. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for a fun, leisurely way to spend an hour or two. We even saw a few turtles!

    What a wonderful way to explore the opening to the Kalamazoo River from Lake Michigan! We rented…read moreRuby the retro boat yesterday to tool around in at 4mph. The boat itself is a beauty and so eye catching. It was my husband's birthday so we brought along our daughter and her boyfriend to help us celebrate. We could've purchased from their wide variety of beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) but we were too excited to get the show on the road. The young lady provided us with instructions on where we could boat around and what the general etiquette is on the lake. Everything went off without a hitch and we got the boat back right on time. The people running the facility were very helpful and friendly. We did get an adult beverage before our launch. They have a wonderful bar area you can sit and watch the boats go by while you wait for your turn! Overall a wonderful experience!

    It was a pretty cool experience to be on a sail boat on Lake Michigan. The boarding was easy, the…read morecrew was knowledgeable and friendly. Seating is padded but no backs on the seats. You could stand if you wanted and help raise the sails if you wanted to. They provide us with a bottle of water or soda and a bag of chips. However, you could also take your own snacks onto the boat including liquor if you so desired. It was a 2 hours sailing trip and we left and returned within that time frame. The boat held about 20 folks and our tour was full but still plenty of room to not feel crowded. It was nice to sail out of the harbor through a canal lined with homes as we reached Lake Michigan. That part of the trip took about 20-25 minutes each way leaving about an hour to be on the lake. Once we were on the lake is when the crew with the help of various patrons raised the sails. However, we had very little wind so we really never sailed. Which for me made the trip a little boring. It would have been nice actually feel like you were sailing as a posed to just siting on the water drifting. We were maybe a mile off shore and the boat captain did tell us some history of a city that was discovered buried under the sand dunes in that area. The parking is close with bathrooms between the parking lot and the dock. So very easily accessible. Parking was free.

    We probably lucked out and had the best possible conditions last night for a late-summer sunset…read moresail: calm waters but enough wind to allow us to truly sail. Also, it was a very warm night so the breeze and cooler temps on the lake were pretty perfect. The crew was exceptional and was willing to engage in conversation if that's what you were looking for, but this is not really a tour... more of an experience and an opportunity to see the beauty of Lake Michigan and the Michigan shore. I would recommend this to anyone who can handle a little bit of adventure on the water.

    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.

    I had a corporate team outing lined up weeks in advance. At 2:30 AM the night before our event, I…read morereceived a text message saying that they had an issue with the coast guard and may not be able to keep our reservation. 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.
