The quaint town is the perfect way to begin. The boat house for check in was just as charming. The staff and captain offered lovely hospitality. We called last minute for tickets and the woman on the phone was so helpful. The captain was not only knowledgeable but had a wicked sense of humor too. I love that you are assigned a specific table. It was so comfortable and felt like a dinner show. The vessel was clean and in perfect shape. The tour itself offered a beautiful view of the town, new and old homes, a beach and Lake Michigan. We even saw an eagle's nest with cute little babies. I didn't want it to end.

The bar has a good variety and you can rent the retro boats directly from here. They provide everything- buy drinks and snacks from them and they pack a cooler with ice to store them. They have Bluetooth radios to borrow if you need one. Following the water from Lake Michigan to the boat harbor takes the full 90 minutes of the baseline rental going at the top allowable speed. It is a great way to spend an afternoon and see the sights. If you are not looking for a rental- there is a great back patio to enjoy food and drink and take in the sights of boaters. There is lots of sun shade as well.

The staff prepare a cooler for you that you can fill w drinks and snacks purchased from their shop. They had a great selection of beer, wine, prosecco, sodas, juices etc. They also had ice cream. The staff was helpful in explaining how to work the boat and gave us a speaker for music. Our group had a blast! We went in the evening and stayed out until around sunset. The donut boat was easy to operate. You sit in a circle with a circle table in the middle. Everyone in our group had so much fun! The circle set up was great for talking, laughing and socializing! I would love to rent one of the adorable retro boats next time! This is a must do in Saugatuck!

We were 5 friends on our annual trip and we had the best time sailing with Mort. Everything was well communicated, him and his wife were super sweet, and the boat was beautiful. I found Sweetwater through some extensive internet research and I was so pleased when I did because not only were their prices some of the most affordable but the reviews were some of the best. We will absolutely sail with them again when we return to saugatuck and we have been recommending them to everyone. Thanks for an amazing sail, Mort!
