Excellent tour! - I had an excellent boat tour. We took the Sister Bay to Death's Door tour which took two hours or so (maybe a bit longer). The boat was comfortable, the scenery pretty and -- best of all -- the guide who was speaking did not feel a need to fill the entire time with inane chatter, but spoke to tell us things!

Boat trip to North Shore - Nice leisurely ride with caring staff. Interesting facts about Door County. Suggestion: sit on the upper level if you can as it was hard to hear the guide on the lower level.

Informative and entertaining boat cruise in Door County! - The crew members did a terrific job making our boat cruise enjoyable. I learned some new things about Door County I didn’t know about. We saw things you cannot see when on the shore. I would this cruise again! It was fun and entertaining!

They were a no-show! - Drove 5 plus hours for reserved boat trip, when we arrived, they said they had texted that boat was broken down and were closing early for the season. We had been traveling and unable to receive emails due to reception, AND they had NOT texted. Emails were from trip advisors, and at the very bottom in very small font, it did say that but had a bunch of garbage characters before that after stating, "Do not fall for scams and pay again". They did not call or text or require a receipt requested. We are not happy and will never use them again . The picture is the first part of their email!!!
