I loved the views from the boat, our group preferred the upper deck. I am definitely telling others to take this tour or another like it when they visit Saugatuck!

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?

Keep in mind, the lot fills up quickly I'm the summer and you can't park your truck and trailer on the road so be sure to arrive early. I wonder if they're issuing fishing permits during the shutdown. Also ... I've heard the Secretary of State is closed so I hope they won't be ticketing boat drivers who can't renew their tags. I'll have to investigate.

These guys are experienced sailors that make you feel comfortable, safe, and at ease. Captain Andy explained how the sailing trip was going to go and what to expect. He also was friendly and answered all the questions we had about sailing! The sailboat is study and clean but not necessarily luxurious. We went on a 2 hour trip and the waves were about 2 feet high and it was around 65 degrees and sunny. I'm glad I brought a sweater and sunglasses- it's always colder on the water than in town. Don't worry about bringing food and drinks on the 2 hour trip- it would be hard to eat with the waves. Tip: bring Dramamine and eat something small and simple beforehand. But don't worry, the guys do have bags in case you get sick

DO NOT RENT HERE. We reserved a golf cart for a family reunion in South Haven for three days…read more The VRBO cancelled our reservation the day before 11 people were arriving from three different states. So, of course we can't use the golf cart rental. South Haven is full of tourists, all golf carts are reserved, there is no way this golf cart would not be rented sometime during the weekend. They refused to refund our money, so we're out over 300.00 for three days of cart rental. I have owned a business...I would never treat a customer like that. This just shows you what kind of owners this business has. Go somewhere else where they'll treat your fairly.

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!

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!

Cal and Terrie are pure class whose friendliness and hospitality is surpassed only by their keen regard for safety. My family and I purchase the "No Frills" two-hour cruise out of Holland, MI. I could tell from the very beginning that we were in good hands. Terrie sent instructions on the meeting location as well as a personalized video message to us which was a very warm and welcomed gesture. She met us in the parking lot, greeted us with a friendly smile and gentle handshake, and then guided us to our vessel where we met Captain Cal, her counterpart. It is rare to find such personable, welcoming hosts. Terrie brought out finger food for us while Captain Cal expertly navigated us through the channel, elaborating on the history and culture of the locality on our taxi to Lake Michigan. My father is poor with motion sickness and Captain Cal and Terrie consistently checked in to ensure he was feeling well, offering remedies to any potential onset of illness based on their 40+ years of experience. In all, it was a fantastic time and one could easily tell these are good people who value safety above all and, importantly, want to ensure you have a positive experience (which we did, and then some!). I am a pretty avid adventure traveller and can tell you there will be no regrets about booking time with Captain Cal and Terrie! Enjoy!
