We are located on the Kalamazoo River, across the river from downtown Saugatuck. From our location, you may take the boats upstream to a beautiful waterfowl preserve perfect for bird-watching and fishing. If you’re looking for tubing or skiing, you can do that on Kalamazoo Lake or Silver Lake. Heading downstream towards Lake Michigan is another scenic preserve. 45 minutes will get you to ‘The Cove’ the local’s spot to anchor, swim, and explore the sand dunes. Lake Michigan is only available if the waves are 2 feet or less (roughly 60% of summer).

All of our availability and pricing is the easiest to access on our website. Just like renting a car, a good amount of information is needed to create and confirm your booking, it is best if you complete the booking online yourself.

Anyone 18 or older, can rent any of our electric boats. Only those born before July 1, 1996 are permitted to drive a motorized boat without a Boater’s Safety Permit. Anyone born after July 1, 1996 will need to present a valid Boater’s Safety Permit.

To inquire about captains, please call.

Yes! We encourage you to bring a cooler of whatever you’d like! We’ll have ice for sale in 2025 and will not be selling any food or drink. The driver must remain sober and is responsible for all passengers. We ask that you be mindful of the boats and keep your garbage contained.

If lightning or thunder is in the area, we will cancel and fully refund your rental for safety. If it is raining, we will offer the option to cancel for a refund. We will make the decision for cancellations and refunds the morning of the rental. Weather changes quickly in West Michigan so we do not cancel further out. Renter’s may cancel their booking 7 days in advance for a full refund. Within 7 days of the reservation, we will issue a 50% refund.

Good vibes. Sunscreen, sunglasses, towels, driver’s license, a change of clothes, coolers, snacks, drinks, and a downloaded playlist. Things are cooler on the water, so bring an extra layer or a blanket – we do not cancel if the air is a bit chilly!

Starting in 2025, we will have 7lb bags of ice available to purchase! We’ll also have some water and other refreshments available, just ask!

Every boat is equipped with the required safety items. Everyone 6 and under must wear a life jacket at all times. Our team will provide a certified jacket for anyone that asks. If you plan to be tubing or skiing, we have action life jackets available.

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your reservation starts. If you have a large group, feel free to arrive earlier. We except about 10 minutes of safety briefing before each rental departs.

Service can be a bit spotty on the river, if you plan on listening to music, we recommend downloading a playlist (or two)!

If it’s a bit windy, the chain ferry won’t be running – you’ll need to drive over the bridge.
