Reviews

"Exceeded my expectations"

"100% a Great Experience. My wife, our daughter and myself chartered a 2 hour sailing experience with Captain Andy and we had a great time. Andy and our crew member were very welcoming right off the bat and adjusted our experience to meet our needs. Our daughter is pretty young (3 months old at the time) so we took it easy, didn't go too fast and just enjoyed the ride. It was apparent from the get go that safety is a priority here and at no point did I feel that was compromised. When we come back to South Haven we will definitely be booking again. Thanks Captain Andy!"

"Absolutely beautiful."

"This was my third sunset sail out of South Haven, my first with Captain Andy. It was, by far an incredible experience! We had a visit from a cormorant that sat atop the mast. The sunset was vivid and presented a scene suitable for painting with hues of yellow, blue, purple, and red. Andy and Erv were both knowledgeable and the conversation was friendly, informative, and enjoyable."

"The best crew. Hands down."

"Absolute must-do in South Haven. Captain Andy and Captain Erin were awesome, and it made for a great afternoon on Lake Michigan. Great idea for an anniversary, birthday, or a date night. Will definitely be re-booking an excursion next year on the Margaret Ann when we are back in town!"

"They went above and beyond."

"Our group had a great trip with Captain Andy & Chloe recently. The boat is beautiful and Andy & Chloe couldn’t have been nicer or more professional. It was such a relaxing way to spend an evening with friends - we’ll definitely be back next summer!"
