Ugly Anne Boat Tours / Straits Area Tour Co

"We had a lovely, late season ride on the Ugly Anne in the straits of Mackinac and under the Mighty Mac Bridge. The boat handled any wind and chop on the water well, so that we were all comfortable. The information shared about the waterway and the area was top notch. All in all, a very nice way to spend an evening with friends. (and get a few good shots of the bridge)"

"This tour was great! The only down side, with so many people it can be crowded, and if you're not on of the 1st in line, you get stick on the inside seats, with hands, cameras and heads (people) in your shot sometimes. That said, if you're careful and take multiple shots you'll get something good. The employees were great, the gentleman serving drinks, and answering questions was very knowledgeable. A people person, loved to tell you about different ships, etc. The views of the bridge are 2nd to none. Simply amazing. We took the sunset cruise, the view, and shots with the bridge in the background were simply amazing. Whether you're a Mackinac Bridge lover, just want great views on the water, I can't recommend them enough!"

"Really enjoyed the ride and the history tour The boat had a very rustic look and our captain was very attentive even when the water was choppy. The drinks weren’t too expensive, and they sell water, beer, and soft drinks. Learned a lot about the bridge, marvelous engineering!!"

"My only complaint is getting out of the boat would be a struggle for someone with knee problems. There needs to be an additional rail on the dock to help pull yourself up with. The hostess even said to each person "that last step up is a doozy!" It was steep/high. Otherwise, a great tour. Captain did a great job of rotating the boat so you could snap photos no matter where you sat."

"What a great ride under the Mackinac Bridge Staff was polite and kind lots of opportunities to take pics...Good narration definetly worth the time and money. Even got to see some baby ducks with mama thanks be to the gal at the ticket booth who told us about them."
