Sunset cruise was one of the best experiences of our lives. Crew was very hospitable, we were on water for about an hour and half. On time boarding, directions were clear. Sunset was beautiful and could see Machinac bridge up-close. We will definitely go again. Thank you team.

It was a pleasant evening cruise. The deck hand was super friendly, took photos for anyone who wanted them. He added to the captains narrative. Unfortunately we didn’t see any sunset due to clouds, but the view of the bridge with the lights was still pretty.

Thanks for the review. You are right, the bridge lit up is a beautiful sight as well. I hope you had a great time in Mackinaw City

Disappointed. Under whelmed. Not worth the money. Can see the same from Star or Shepler’s Ferry. Suggest only if you are not planning on taking the ferry to the island, otherwise it’s the same.

Hi and thanks for the review. I think this is the first time we have heard that someone was underwhelmed by the Mackinac Bridge. Sorry to hear that it wasn't what you expected. One thing I wanted to address is your comment that we are the same as the ferry boats going to Mackinac Island. There are actually quote a few differences: -We only hold 30 passengers. -We serve beer, wine and N/A beverages aboard during the cruise -Our trip is 1 hour long -We have live and recorded narration/music playing throughout the cruise -We spend around 10 minutes under the bridge so everyone can enjoy this amazing structure and get pictures We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Mackinaw City
