Visitors consistently rave about how easy and enjoyable the entire experience is from start to finish. The staff earns particular praise for being genuinely friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist guests of all abilities, including those needing extra help boarding or families with young children. The boats themselves are described as clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly spacious, with many reviewers noting they could comfortably accommodate more people than expected. Families especially appreciate the thoughtful touches like life jackets in all sizes (even for infants), quiet engines that won't disturb napping babies, and Bluetooth speakers for entertainment. The boats are simple to operate and you can follow a scenic route through the river, with opportunities to stop and swim. Many guests bring their dogs along or pack coolers with drinks and snacks for a relaxed afternoon on the water. The only regret people seem to have is not booking for longer, which tells you everything you need to know about the quality of this experience.
Renting Betty was such a fun experience! It helped that we had a perfect Fall day on the water. Boat was clean and comfortable. We brought out 2.5 year old and 7 month old. They had life jackets that fit each kid very well. The 7 month old napped the entire ride (the engine is super quiet!) and the 2.5yo had a great time looking for wildlife, waving to other boaters, and listening to kids songs on the provided Bluetooth speaker. We will definitely do this again if we visit Saugatuck!
