Was told boat filled but I wasn't entitled to a refund even though he said he would. I asked about rescheduling, he wouldn't do that. He is a total liar. Please don't give him your business. P.o.s. Hopefully he never loses a child and learns some honesty.

It's been about a year and it is still one of the most peaceful and unique experiences I've had out on Lake Erie. Scott takes pride in his sail boat as well as the customer service he provides guests. From start to finish, our group had a fantastic time. We felt safe and lucky to be able to experience something so special. I highly recommend you join Scott on any of his unique adventures out on Lake Erie. Whether you want to learn how to sail or you want to enjoy a romantic wine pairing or massage out on the lake, Scott has a curated adventure waiting for you.

Ed and Mary are the owners of Lake Effect Sailing, and they charter sails on Lake Erie for any and…read moreall skill levels. To be completely transparent, I am their niece and have been sailing with them for over 20 years. Sailing with them is my favorite activity when visiting during the summer. And now I love taking friends and my partner with me, often times for their first sailing experience. Here are a few things to know. Whatever your comfort level on the water, Captain Ed and Mary can meet your needs. If your interest is a relaxing sail with some snacks and the tranquility of the water, this is for you. If you're considering taking sailing up as a hobby and want to learn more, they have a wealth of experience and information to share with you. I suggest taking bionine if you're prone to sea sickness, and staying on the deck helps too. You can also walk around to the bow of the boat while sailing - don't forget your camera! Parking is free and available close to the deck. If you live in the Erie, PA area or are visiting from out of town, this is a must do. Treat yourself to a charter and spend time with some lovely people!!

Do not trust this company AT ALL especially the OWNER and if you look at previous reviews, this is…read morenot the first time. Before you do ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING AT ALL, have them show you the propeller regardless if there is a swim deck on the boat or not BEFORE you SIGN ANYTHING AT ALL OR TAKE IT OUT IN THE WATER. Trust me, it will save you in the end. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU HAVE READ EVERYTHING ON THE PAPER AND HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING! We ended up paying for a new propeller that "was broken" and which ended up not being the cause of us stranded in the water. According to one of the employees who opened up the motor and I quote "You are fine, it's nothing. It's just the pin." He then yelled across the parking lot to the owner "it's not the drive, it's the pin in the transmission. We just need a new pin." The owner's response "I still need to put a new prop on it." Again, we were told by the employee we were not at fault. The owner then removed the 3 blade prop, removed the plastic sheath, said that part was fine. He did not charge us for a new plastic sheath and then put a 4 blade prop on the motor, which we were charged for. Apparently after we left, they replaced the pin as we saw the same boat in the water a few hours later. So for the frustration and dishonesty from the owner, if you still rent from them, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING UNTIL YOU QUESTION EVERYTHING AND TAKE A PICTURE TO COVER YOUR BUTT. Do not trust and take your business else where.
