Along the way we saw some gorgeous homes as well as lots of natural beauty, including an eagle's nest with two adult eagles and two eaglets, which was very special to see. On the way back it was dusk, so we got to see the harbor all lit up, and it was stunning. It was a small group, so it felt comfortable and relaxed. We went in October, and it did get quite chilly, but they provided extra blankets to keep us cozy. I highly recommend this outfit without any reservations.

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.

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.

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

I was able to make a same day reservation about 2 hours in advance on a Thursday, but it seemed like the weekend filled up faster.

I would definitely rental from here again if I was in town. Some of the boats are also equipped to dock and allow the passengers to swim out- but you need to do the longer rental option for this.

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!
