I would highly recommend this to anyone with little ones or even a couple for a fun date.

I did a 5 p.m. narrated tour on a Sat. in July. I bought tickets at the booth. The tour guide was…read morenew and mixed up her words and left/right sometimes, but she seemed nice and knowledgeable. I initially sat at the front of the boat, but I could not hear the narration, so I moved to the back. The information was interesting and I enjoyed the views. The tour had a large, separate group in attendance. One person in their group distributed tickets one at a time when it was time to board, while people not in their group were already queued and waiting to board. It would have been better for those not in the group to have the group distribute tickets before boarding to not hold up the line. I went to the booth the previous evening, Friday, for the 8 p.m. sunset cruise. I was disappointed to learn there was only one ticket left, when we had two people. I regretted not booking online earlier (mostly because I didn't want to pay a ticket fee). I called earlier around 3 p.m. to confirm the departure time; it would have been nice if the person advised me to get a ticket early.

The morning clouds cleared right on time and he continually positioned the boat to allow optimal viewing of the celestial event. We loved his personality and enthusiasm! The Erie-themed buffet was on-point and kept stocked throughout the tour. DJ Will played a great selection of sun and moon themed tunes pre-eclipse and switched to dance music post-eclipse. Perfect! Overall, the special cruise was fantastic and worth every penny.

Ed and Mary are the owners of Lake Effect Sailing, and they charter sails on Lake Erie for any and…read moreall skill levels. To be completely transparent, I am their niece and have been sailing with them for over 20 years. Sailing with them is my favorite activity when visiting during the summer. And now I love taking friends and my partner with me, often times for their first sailing experience. Here are a few things to know. Whatever your comfort level on the water, Captain Ed and Mary can meet your needs. If your interest is a relaxing sail with some snacks and the tranquility of the water, this is for you. If you're considering taking sailing up as a hobby and want to learn more, they have a wealth of experience and information to share with you. I suggest taking bionine if you're prone to sea sickness, and staying on the deck helps too. You can also walk around to the bow of the boat while sailing - don't forget your camera! Parking is free and available close to the deck. If you live in the Erie, PA area or are visiting from out of town, this is a must do. Treat yourself to a charter and spend time with some lovely people!!
