We decided to take the boat ride to the apostle islands and chose the brand new glass bottom boat…read moretour. I found it to be a lovely day, but to be honest felt the tour was a bit boring and there wasn't really much to look at. I would have loved to have had more time to visit the shops in the area which seemed nice. NOTE: There is NO parking so you really need to arrive early to get a parking spot somewhere. Most places have a 2 hour limit so we had to park several blocks away. The office doesn't have a bathroom so you need to walk to a brick building down the street where there are only 2 stalls. The boat does have a bathroom on board which is helpful, and snacks like candy and bottled water, etc to purchase.

The Apostle Islands Marina does not operate a boat tour service, it is a marina where boat owners…read moredock their vessels when not in use. It also offers other marina related services including pump out, fuel and winter storage. I'm afraid that Paula has mistaken the marina for one of the Apostle Islands boat tour companies. She's correct about the restroom and showers at the marina, they are for boat owners who rent slips at the marina and their guests. She's also correct about general parking in Bayfield. The next time Paula visits Bayfield, she can stop by the Ship's Store, operated by the marina on the corner of Manypenny and 1st

After five hours of labor I get a call telling me they'd need to modify the engine to accommodate the charging kit that wasn't even the right one. The manager at the time told me that if I would have had them install it from the start I wouldn't have to pay half the labor. Do you suppose they could have checked with Honda about the right kit and refunded me for the wrong one. Instead it was on me - at least for half. Those marinas are like casino's. They make money whatever.

If you love to fish, you are right on Chequamegon Bay, one of the top rated Smallmouth Bass fisheries in the United States. This area is much safer than other areas to boat in because of the Apostle Islands and Chequamegon Bay (sheltered from the main lake).

I have done the safety reviews with Superior Charters' captains and have found them to be very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.

I think our sailor/tour guide's name was Matt and he deserves recognition. He takes great photos. The cost was worth it for me because of the experience, and the small group size. This does cost more than the Apostle Islands Tour, but it's almost like a private sailing session. I would advise sunscreen due to exposure, even if you're not white. We were fortunate that autumn had a late ending, until the start of the 3rd week of October. Peak colors and perfect weather.
