Great Cruise! - For some reason, I can’t choose the sunset cruise to review. That’s the one we did, not the daytime Peninsula Park cruise. And it was such a good cruise! Besides seeing the lighthouse, the caves, Peninsula State Park, and a lovely sunset, we were well entertained and informed by Al, and given a safe ride by Dave. They make a great team. Al sang a variety of songs with a good voice, and provided an amusing and informative patter. Pro tip: sit on the right hand side of the boat for land views on the way out and sunset on the way back, but everyone got up and took pics from the open back of the boat, so it’s not terribly important where you sit. Wholeheartedly recommend this company and this cruise.

Our late August Door County vacation - The beautiful weather and hearing stories of the history of the lake and Door County. The water was calm and the skies were clear and Jerry and the captain took good care of us!

Beautiful ride on the Bay! - It was a beautiful day out the day we went on the water and the ride was smooth. The narrator was very informative and funny! The only thing I would like to see changed is bringing animals (dogs) on board. There is a time and place for everything and being is close quarters with them is not place.

A little disappointed but overall a good trip. - Trip was fine and the guide was great. My only complaint is the itinerary listed on Trip Advisor "What to Expect" is wrong. We didn't go anywhere near Chambers Island which was one of the reasons I signed up. I thought that was a long way for a 90 minute trip. Also you don't go between the Strawberry Islands. The bay was rough and we didn't circle Horseshoe Island as shown on the Scenic Boat Tours website.. I was disappointed but not surprised.
