Clinton River Cruise

Clinton River Cruise

(8 reviews)

Went on a cruise with this company and although it was a sponsered event, several things were very…read morewrong with this cruise. One they allowed smokers even though they sell liqour and beer and according to Michigan law it is illegal to do that. Secondly they were severing partons beer until they were so drunk they could barely stand to get off of the boat and were about to get into their cars. Talk about irresponsible bartending, I would would be a witness in the even one of those poeple injured or killed someone. God know what other safety violations they may have.....take your life in your own hands.

There are not many boat cruises available in this area, even though southeast Michigan is in part…read moreof the Great Lakes system. That said, I have taken rides with the Clinton River Cruise on several occasions. Each time was with a group reservation, with catered buffet. The cruises really never venture out into unprotected waters, they simply afford a comfortable ride from downtown Mount Clemens to the mouth of the Clinton River, with a turn around in Lake St. Clair and return. They always have adequate seating, refreshments available, an occasional live band. The atmosphere aboard is light and lively, but in my case, that also depended on the group I was with. During periods of foul weather, they have nice side curtains what allow great views in an enclosed ship. For a pleasant outdoor activity, I couldn't recommend this company more.

Lake St. Clair Sailing School - Sailing School Instructor

Lake St. Clair Sailing School

We are not rating the instructors, and from what we have read they are good; nor the experience we…read morewere not afforded. Our rating is entirely about the owner, ergo the business as a whole. The owner sent the following message that was buried within a booking confirmation e-mail the night before our 09:00 class: "I am emailing you because [name redacted] who is supposed to give you the sailing class tomorrow has tested positive for COVID. ... I have tried to find another captain but they were all had previous commitments. Would the following date be ok with you? 10/8/2022 Saturday and Sunday" We booked the two-day classes weeks in advance; arranged for time off work, and invested in the required/recommended clothing and equipment. The weather forecast for our classes was 9-10 knots and mid 80s. In my mind this was perfect sailing weather. The October 8th-9th classes were already on the school's schedule; and the forecast for those days was in the 40s, which would have been a very unenjoyable experience for us. Unforeseen events happen, and the instructor should focus on their health. I do not think anyone could reasonably argue otherwise. There are myriad reasons why an instructor may become unavailable; but the owner did not plan for a very common contingency. Who doesn't call their customer when they have to cancel something at the eleventh hour? This owner. Who doesn't make the slightest effort to try to find a mutually acceptable solution? This owner. The booking confirmation includes the following exact copy: "Cancellations: Full refund when you inform us by email 7 days before the class starts. 50% Refund when you inform us 3 days before the class starts. No Refund when you inform us 48 days before the class. Customers will also receive a full refund or credit in case of operator cancellation due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances." Should the owner have apologized? It would have demonstrated some consideration. In conclusion: we received a full refund, but caveat emptor with Lake St. Clair Sailing School.

Bottom line: Highly recommended top notch ASA certified sailing school with great facilities and…read moreinstructors! I don't write a lot of Yelp reviews, but after spending a fun and educational weekend here getting my ASA 101/103 certifications, I wanted to pass along this review for others! I flew down from New York for four days and Susie (the owner) was really helpful in helping me plan my trip and getting me started on pre-sail reading. Quick note for anyone considering this school if you live outside the Detroit area - sign up early and Susie will try to help you find a place to stay in the marina itself (our very close). This is a family run sailing school (2nd generation) and the pride and care everyone on the team takes in teaching is very apparent as soon as you get here. Class sizes are small so you get a lot of hands-on time that you might not have in some other sailing schools. The boats are in great shape and well maintained. Lastly, the Marina where the schoola is based is an added bonus (swim after a long days sail!) and there are plenty of food/entertainment options for the evenings. Thanks to Susie, Ron, Michelle, Jim, and John!
