About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kimsZ8168CT0 contributionsBeautiful views and great staffCustomer service was wonderful. We stopped early in the day and the lady at the ticket booth said that the tours may not go out that day due to high winds but she would take my number and let me know if they were going out. She text me a few hours before the tour was to go out and said that they were going to do the tour. The Narrator of the cruise was very good and gave a lot of information and answered questions. The captain walked around and mangled with the guests. The views were beautiful and it was a lovely afternoon.Written October 10, 2024

- stevedS3053FY0 contributionsGreat ExcursionWe enjoyed two hours of sight seeing on Green Bay. Connie, our narrator, kept us informed and entertained. The trip through death's door gave us a feel of Lake Michigan's waves and a chance to view some lighthouses.Written September 18, 2024
- stoogeg30 contributionsInformative Tour But Bad for Your Back!I booked this trip 3 weeks prior to the date of departure. I was told to arrive 15 min before hand. Which I did. It was then that I was handed a boarding number just short of 100! Which meant I and my party couldn’t board until 94 people got on before me! If they would have told me about that procedure I would have obtained my boarding number at least an hour ahead of time and just browsed around the area while awaiting the departure time. The staff were lovely people and Connie was an excellent hostess with a wealth of information to share with the tour. I learned a lot about the Door County area and shore line. One deficit of this tour is that the seating arrangements are not comfortable at all for people over 60! The bench seats are hard and if you end up getting a bench on the side of the catamaran you have to strain your neck to twist and strain your back to the look at the item that the docent is talking about! Also your back hurts because there’s nothing to lean back on as the back of the bench is up against the side of the boat. Possibly a suggestion to bring a pillow or a stadium seat would be in order for comfort. OR get rid of the bench seats and put in other types of chairs that would be comfortable for sitting and leaning back on. Most of the customers were elderly that particular day and a lot of them looked uncomfortable as I did.Written September 18, 2024
- pat100620150 contributionsGreat tripThis was a wonderful trip on a beautiful September afternoon. Connie, our tour guide, said that she had lived in Door County her entire life. She was so informative about the area. We sat on the top deck and had great views of the shoreline.Written September 17, 2024
- KristyN22220 contributionsBeautiful way to spend an hourWe only had time for the shortest tour, but it was a stunning trip and our guide was a stitch. Highly recommend if you have a little time to relax and enjoy!Written September 14, 2024
- Sportstorm660 contributionsGreat cruiseCaptain Cal, First Mate Connie, and narrator Chuck were all so friendly. The lady working the ticket booth was great. I booked my tour online and the process was very easy. We were warmly welcomed aboard. The water was a little rough but the captain did his best to minimize the boat bounce. Chuck is a local resident of Door county and had a wealth of historical information and personal anecdotes. My wife, who uses a cane, was helped both on and off the boat. Everyone was very attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend this cruise. I am already looking forward to coming back on our next vacation and taking the sunset cruise.Written September 8, 2024
- S2443TNjerrys0 contributionsGive this a whirl!Great fun. Captain and tour guide were excellent. Nice way to spend a couple of hours and the cost very reasonable. I wouldn’t hesitate to use this company for a different cruise.Written September 6, 2024
- Desha K0 contributionsGreat tour!We did the inaugural Celestial Odyssey stargazing boat tour. It was fantastic and something I hope you can continue to offer. The dosen from the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. Being able to get away from shore and the light pollution made the stars and Milky Way bright and very visible. We were lucky to have a clear night. Highly recommend.Written August 31, 2024

I recently went on the Sister Bay Boat Tour that departed at 3:00 on a Friday afternoon, and this was a 2-hour tour that headed north towards Ellison Bay, Gills Rock, and Death's Door. This was my first time going on a boat tour in Door County, and it was amazing seeing everything from the water, and I would consider this a "must do" now! I was to the boat dock by only about 2:30 on the day I was going, and this was a good time to ensure preferred seating. There was already a line forming, even about 30 minutes ahead like that. There was not a functioning restroom on the boat on the day I rode, but this was not a major problem for me, and I just made sure to use the facilities before leaving and upon returning. I was able to get a nice seat on the top deck of the boat, but I frequently moved around during the ride, as did many of the other passengers. It was a very nice tour, and I enjoyed the narration and learning more about the area. We eventually got to the point of seeing Plum Island and Washington Island in the distance! This was a relaxing ride, and a great way to spend 2 hours. I thought all 3 crew members on board were very friendly and informative, and they took the time to talk with everyone on board and ask where they were from, etc. They were also fine with you bringing your own soda or water on board, which was nice! I had a great time on this boat tour, and I would recommend. Parking was relatively easy to find on a side street in Sister Bay. I would suggest bringing a jacket, as it did get cool out on the open water, even on a 75-80 degree day on the mainland. Great job!!

We are avid boaters however rarely go north of Sister Bay due to the distance from our marina. We took our family on the Death’s Door Cruise and it was a highlight of their time in Door County. Captain Cal was fantastic and my husband really enjoyed talking with him. This is a family owned business who really care about their guests. Cal’s cousin did a fantastic job narrating and providing great insight regarding the peninsula along with good humor. We brought along a cooler of snacks & wine and could have easily cruised longer. Highly recommend Scenic Boat Tours. I’m sure all of their tours are wonderful but for the most scenic excursion, choose Death’s Door and head north.
Thanks to the great crew!

Great to hear that you enjoyed your cruise! I agree, the crew does an excellent job at making your experience a FUN one. I agree, going north takes you to sights that most do not get a chance to enjoy. Thank you for sharing your experience with others.

The trip was top notch from beginning to end. Starting with the friendly efficient check in at the dock. As the group was assembling on the dock they were directed to a particular picnic table to wait for boarding by Tom. He was very cordial and very organized as he guided the group to wait and then began his efficient boarding process. We have been on many other trips on cruises and yours we have taken and have never been so pleased with the process they used. The cruise itself was extremely well narrated - good info and not too much or two little. Next year we will go on another one of their cruises - Death’s Door.
THANKS!!

The cruise was great, was all excited about a good deal at $33 per person for this cruise. That was until I saw my credit card bill. The Trip Advisor billing process for this cruise included a $20 per ticket fee that I was never informed of. It left a very bad taste in mouth. A $20 Fee for a ticket that costs $33, is almost robbery. If the cruise is going to charge us $53 per ticket, then do that, but don't say $33 per ticket, when it is really $53 a ticket. I'm sure I'll get no feedback or a refund of the extra fees, but beware to others.

That is strange. I have not heard of this happening. I will look into this on my end also. I spoke with TripAdvisor Bookings (Viator) and they assure me that, "For this, I can assure you that TripAdvisor / Viator dos not have any way to add extra charge to the traveler." Please check your bill again and let me know if you find this not to be the case. Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed your cruise.

My mom and I had a blast on this little cruise. And it even rained! Great musicians, great people, great staff, and a great peekaboo sunset through the periodic rain. Highly recommend!
Note: NOT a booze cruise. We brought our own water. They have a decent non-alcoholic selection of drinks.

Very pleasant outing. Tom's live music was excellent. The track along Green Bay and the small islands was terrific. We got lucky with a perfect sunset and the captain positioned the boat perfectly for great photo ops.

Love the experience! Why? Easy online booking, easy check in at location, great crew, loved hearing Connie’s actual stories of being from the community, the rest of the crew was welcoming, cruise was perfect amount of time, and a great way to get out on the water and let someone do the driving. I highly recommend to take the cruise and I will plan to try another evening cruise next visit to Door county!

My mom and I took this boat cruise on Memorial Day and it was a perfect day! The captain and crew were very friendly and knowledgeable. If you’re in Sister Bay or nearby and want something fun to do, we’d highly recommend taking a cruise with Scenic Boat Tours. We’ll definitely be back to take another one.

Took the south tour to see the strawberry islands, peninsula lighthouse, eagle bluff and sea caves. The narrator was so delightful to listen to and very informative. The gentleman at the snack bar was so nice he took our picture and very interesting. The driver was so talented to maneuver that boat in and out of the dock. Let children drive the boat. Was a fabulous day. We will go back for another ride going north to deaths door next time
