    I've been on a few boat/duck tours in the Dells and was thinking this would be lame. I was actually impressed with the guide and his tour! This is my second time to DC and my first wasn't something memories are made of. If you like riding the waves, great scenery and learning some neat DC history, schedule a boat tour here! They're really not that expensive shit what you get (2hrs)! Get some ice cream at the shop there when you're done, it's like DQ soft serve.

    If I could give more stars I would. Awesome boat ride and tour. We took the lighthouse and shipwreck tour. Captain Matt very knowledgable on the area wrecks and lighthouse along with the overall history of how door county got its start. Not to mention the ride in his inflatable. Would definitely recommend as well as come back for another of his 3 different tours. Great job captain Matt!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a great boat ride.

    What a great way to spend a few hours on the water! Captain Matt shared so much of the rich history of the area, and had a great play list for the tour.

    Captain Matt was great and Very knowledgeable of the area. This was a great way to see door county from the water and it was an adventure. From the mild intro of the area with background music of Celine Dion from the Titanic to the launch off to the Strawberry Islands with Ozzy Osborne playing it was a blast. We had a little rougher Waters than hoped for...but Matt's boat really handles to waves and water great...very comfortable and better yet...dry. it you want a slow boat tour look to another dock....but if you want a boat tour thrill and exciting adventure look no further. Captain Matt has got your back!

    Our family had a great trip!  We would highly recommend this tour!

    This trip was amazing! Captain Matt was friendly and knowledgeable. We were able to see a bald eagle, several shipwrecks and lighthouses. The boat ride and music were enjoyable as well. One of our best adventures in Door County!

    This was a great boat tour. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable . It was a great way to spend…read morean afternoon on the water!

    Booked the 1.75 hour 3pm Lakeside Lighthouse Cruise from Baileys Harbor for a Tuesday. When…read morebooking, had to accept a required click though term saying: "I understand that our Cancellation policy is simple and strict, but fair. We DO NOT give refunds, rather we will gladly give you credit for use another time." Well, the proprietor may think their policy is simple and strict but fair, but making me accept the term on a click through does not make it so. After booking, I later went on the website and saw on their calendar that our tour was cancelled, although I never got an email or text saying the tour was cancelled. I called the tour company to rebook, didn't get anyone and left a message. I did get a callback later and we rescheduled to Thursday. It was windy on Tuesday and there were some whitecaps so cancelling seemed reasonable. Thursday there was little wind and the water seemed relatively tranquil. So we go to Baileys Harbor for our 3pm tour and see the tour boat, the Hope. I wasn't impressed on first sight. There was a fairly decent sized group lined up, about 15-20 people. We boarded and the tour guide / narrator and master captain (as he said) seemed pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable enough. If I heard correctly, the tour boat, the Hope is a former U.S. coast guard lifesaving boat from around 1980, and the narrator said it was "unsinkable". Hmmm, I recall a ship described as unsinkable... We got underway. It soon became apparent that a former U.S. coast guard lifesaving boat does not make a good tour boat. Everyone was seated on hard wood bench seats (with thin foam cushions) lining the inside sides of the boat and facing inward. The boats engine, a Detroit Diesel engine is in a large wood compartment right in the middle of the passenger area and is very loud, ranging from a measured from my seat 91-94 db (loud) while underway. As a result the narrator uses a PA system to be heard over the engine noise. There is also the smell of diesel fuel quite present on board. No restroom. Despite the lake appearing tranquil with maybe 3 foot waves at most, the boat's ride is very unstable, with the boat rocking to and fro and crashing over waves and spraying occupants on occasion despite the plastic screens up front. In fact, the motion of the boat was violent enough that mid-tour the amplifier for the PA system used by the narrator came loose from its ceiling mount location and loudly crashed on the deck! Luckily the large PA system amplifier didn't hit or hurt anyone, but it was useless after that and the narration was effectively over. Due to the rocking of the boat, the passengers needed to stay seated and hold on, moving about while underway wasn't possible. A passenger near me kept jokingly calling the boat the SS Minnow and said he saw a small water leak, which I didn't see. The tour itself primarily consists of loudly and slowly chugging out to the Cana Island lighthouse for about 45 minutes, staying around there for a minute for pictures and then chugging back to dock, with a drive by of the range lights on the way out and the birdcage lighthouse on the way back. Despite what the website says we did not see any shipwrecks, wildlife or other specific geological features, nor would I say the trip was relaxing or pleasant with the noisy, smelly boat crashing about. They really need a different, better, purpose built tour boat if this is the experience with only about 3 foot waves. Cannot recommend. Maybe if the lake water is like glass the experience would be a bit better.
