5.00Blair and Allie were great hosts for our trip around the Detroit River. We had to do a redo bc of bad weather conditions and they were kind enough to oblige us. We are very grateful! I’m a native Detroiter and I saw things I’ve never even knew was there. Allie was very informative in this regard. I would highly recommend this trip on a nice sunny day as it is very relaxing, informative and great hospitality!
Scenic, relaxing & regenerating cruise!

5.00Captain Blair & First Mate Allie are fantastic hosts! They've really taken the time to think of everything needed to enjoy your crusie on the Detroit River. The boat's electric propulsion system is extremely quiet - it's like being on a sail boat! Seeing Detroit's River Walk & Belle Isle from the river will make you appreciate how much Detroit has improved in the last decade. Be sure to ask the hosts about their Corktown Airbnb!

5.00Absolutely fantastic experience! It’s family-run business and Captain Blair and his wife were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. The boat was spotless and cozy. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and they put lovely birthday decorations—it was such a thoughtful touch. The atmosphere was relaxed, and everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend it!

5.00We were celebrating our 3rd anniversary with a weekend in Detroit and this water cruise was a great way to cap off our time in Detroit! The Captain and his First Mate were knowledgeable and friendly and have a new electric boat cruiser that was comfortable and nice to get on the water. The weather was great and would recommend it highly!

5.00The smile and happiness in my wife’s face when she saw the boat and realized that I planned it just for her. She is the apple 🍏 of my eye 👁️ and I was so grateful to be able to show her how much. The hosts made us feel so welcome during our time, let us play OUR playlist on their bluetooth sound system my wife danced in front of the boat and we enjoyed our picnic 🧺 basket and the host took our iconic photo to commemorate our moment for my wife to post on her Facebook page and tag all our family and friends 👍🏾. We will back next year for our 25th anniversary!!!
