J&M Cruise Lines - The Sandpiper

"Best way to see the country's LARGEST MURAL! Beautiful photo ops with an engaging knowledgeable fascinating guide. The captain was very friendly and did not mind conversing to passengers about any and everything! A must if in Toledo!"

"Nice morning cruise on the Maumee River. The boat staff were nice and cordial. The large mural was very nice. I would have preferred going past the downtown area with more to see. My fault I guess, for not doing more research."

"My husband and I took our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter who was visiting from out of state on the Family Dinner Cruise. You do need to bring your our picnic dinner, as described as nothing is provided. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The crew operating the boat were very nice, as were other passengers but the ride was 2 hours and after an hour it became boring. This was because you cruise one side of the Maumee River and the boat turns around and you see the other side of what you just saw. I had to take my granddaughter to the restroom and it could use some work on cleaning. The boat is not that impressive but it was a pleasant Friday night option for a family outing because it was a beautiful evening weather-wise. Some passengers we spoke to were repeat customers but we decided it was not a cruise we would do again but we would like to try other excursions by this company."

"It was a nice experience. My wife and I attended the lunch outing. The crew were very professional and nice. The Sandpiper was good for a site seeing trip, though the restrooms were a bit rough. The trip goes upstream for about six miles and mostly you'll see a mix of woods, grain industrial buildings and some nice homes. The box lunch was decent and served. Good amount of drinks available on board. I had hoped for maybe some more local history being told and maybe a bit more about the local wildlife. If you have a mid day open, I would recommend the trip."

"Took a nice lunch river tour with my girlfriend and had a really nice time. Lunch was provided, though it was a simple box from a local deli (sandwich, chips, cookies and crackers) plus a cooler fill of iced waters and soft drinks. The tour lasted 2 hours and the guides pointed out many places of interest along the way, telling us stories and historical facts for each. At one point we were all invited to the upper deck so that we could get a better view. The captain was very nice, just chatting us up with some casual conversation while we were up there. It was a nice relaxing way to see Toledo from a different POV. We had a good time together and would consider one of their other boat tours in the future."
